There are no ready made "patch panels" for the areas you speak of I've found. The stiffening lines you mention that lend character to the roof to cab back panel transistion will need to come from an unrusted donor cab, or be fabricated locally. I have cut the areas from other trucks where they are not rusted in small sections and blended them into a repair with good success.

Hi Rob I pretty much thought that would be the case, I thought somebody may have started a bit of hobbie business carrying out small jobs like this, I was offered some panels out of another Cab Last night. I might try to make these parts as a panel once I have cut mine out to see if it would be feasible to sell them as it is a common problem Thanks Scott

...And while you're fabricating (wink,wink),my EH has developed a strip of rot right across the bottom of the cab under the back window,where it used to attach to the floor. I might be able to find that basic contour off an old Chevy truck cab from the 40's,if I can find one not rusted out but too trashed to save.

A 3" piece of pipe works well for forming that radius at the bottom of the cab on "E", and "A" series trucks.
