Windshield Frame repair??? 72 K5

[MagnusSigma]

Hello Everyone - looking for some knowledge and guidance. I've been working on my 72 and we have an issue with the window frame. I ordered a replacement top panel: but we are not happy with the side pillars also.

I've tried looking for side pillars, but I'm starting to figure out you can't find such as the pillars are considered part of the whole cab. What should I do in order to replace those side window pillars. They too have gone to crap (rust) and we can't weld the new top panel on such. Any help would be very much appreciated. Here are the pillars I'm referring to:[ATTACH][/ATTACH]

Or rather than piece it together just buy a use windshield frame from a k5 and weld it on the pillars,just cut down to where its good metal. Be sure to measure measure measure.

Here are 2 A pillars I have the green one is in the best shape needs a piece at the top filled in but should be an easy fix. Orange one has a funny hole need the bottom and the top also needs fixed will need a patch on the very top. Let me know if interested 45 ea. plus shipping.

last picture the green one has some rust in the windshield area but should be fine the picture makes it look worst than it is. The orange one has some rust also in the windshield area can get more pictures if you like just let me know.

Sir - my apologies for not responding sooner. I'm back at it, so I'll take the best pillar (base on your thoughts) you have. I'm new to this, so how can I get it purchased and shipped?

I'd like the other one if available. How will you ship it? I'm at 29566 (South Carolina)

Sorry I'm not getting any update notices I think my phone is about to crash. The green one I sold at Truck Carlisle the orange one is still available.

4oldcars the orange one is just the a pillar so I would ship FedEx or USPS.

So, how does this work? I'm definitely in the need for one, so I too will take the orange one (since the green one is no longer available). First come first serve, show me the money? Please let me know if I'm chosen and I'll be happy to move forward and purchase.

Your first up they are left and right since you picked the green one I figured you didn't want the orange one. Send me your zip and I will get you a shipping quote.
