I'm starting to tear into the cab on my new '50 GMC, and I've run into a question regarding the metal stampings.

My truck needs the kickwell panels replaced, both sides, and on the passenger's side where the heater unit was, the rot goes all the way up almost into the dash on the inner panel.

So two questions:
1. Are the GMC/Chevrolet stampings the same? And likewise, the patch panels applicable to both.
2. Does anyone make a patch panel that reaches up into the dash? It would be about 18" high.
