Another place is Year one.If no one makes that part,you have to make it yourself.A wrecking yard is not one place,most are rotted out and most of them went to the crusher due to price of crushed cars.There was one classic car yard in the Muskegon,Mi area and everthing went to the crusher.This was about 13 years ago,the owner died and his widow had them crushed.

Arizona Desert Specialties, (520) 574-9611, ask Jules. He's been in the wrecking yard for about 20 years now, specializing in finding rust-free pieces for older cars.

I've made them in a pinch, I had access to a sheet metal shop at the time and some old timers to show me what to do.
You could cut out a portion of what you need and have a new piece bent up out of sheet mild steel stock by a fabrication shop. Pay cash, offer a token gift of a case of brew and you should be set.
The hardest part is the window channel, most of mine rotted out there. The sider flatter pieces are easier to cut and fill in.
