I would say that you are on your own here.

Shouldn't be too difficult to fabricate the required pieces out of sheet steel.

I have made up replacement pieces for parts that are unobtainable for my Ranchero.   Takes a bit of templating, folding, shaping, fitting and joining before assembling the parts into the area.

Yes, we can fabricate but I was hoping to find something. Thanks!

The only other way would be to find a rust-free car and simply transfer the pieces, after all the cutting, trimming etc.
