I have not seen such a piece, in all the rust repairs here if it is as I described. Where did you purchase?

The part is a rear floor patch panel. I purchased it at Summit Racing, here is the link
CLICK HERE. It looks like at sometime the P.O. had a a rocker replacement and it was not done properly as far as lining up the rocker with the body lines. The rocker was to far in toward the interior which throws off the corner support. The corner was also rusted out and missing metal from the deterioration of the bracing. So I ordered the part to cut of the section that I needed instead of trying to fabricate one. After I received the part and started looking at where to cut it for the repair I remembered that I had some scrap parts from previous repair panels that I bought for the last build. I looked in the box where i keep scraps and already had that section from a outer rocker/inner floor repair panel. When I use repair panels I very seldom use the whole panel. Usually I just cut the part I need and patch it in because the panels never fit properly and take a lot of modifications to make them fit. The less I have to modify the better and the original metal on the trucks are way better than the repop metal.
Photo 1 - is to show where the rear floor patch panel goes on a complete floor
Photo 2 - shows what I used, both pieces have the corner turn down of the floor and the corner support section
