I cant find a piece I need. It is a channel that goes under the cowl pannels, to support them, and goes all the way up behind the hood (which bolts into it) and then up to the windsheild frame. I looked at a couple places and couldn't find it, does anyone have any idea where I could get it?

No, thoes aren't what I need. I already ordered thoes. I need the channel piece that goes under thoes, and it goes all the way up behind the hood and the windsheild hooks to it. It goes the whole width of the truck, under the window frame. Jeff doesn't have it.

to me the difficult part of the repair would be getting everything to align properly if you replaced that entire section. with all of the angles and surfaces, cutting and measuring properly seems as if it could get quite involved to do it properly.

is it possible you could get by just replacing sections of the panel you have and not have to remove one of the key support sections of the bronco?
