Default 1984 K20 4X4 Dust Shield

I have a 1984 K20 4x4. The front dust shields for the rotors are one piece with the caliper mounting bracket. I cant seem to find anyone that has or makes these for the 4x4 version K20.
Can anyone help me out with this? Does anyone make them or does anyone have a pair?

I couldn't find them even on eBay. Good luck finding these. BTW, what is the matter with them?

The sheet metal areas of them are rusting through. Im restoring the truck so I would like to fix that. I cant find anything on these being made or even anyone else looking for them. Weird.

Your best bet would be the junk yards. It looks like there is some rust damage. In this case a good welder could cut out and replace the damaged section.

The problem with where I live is the mostly non-American parts puller are right there at the gates as soon as they open, Anything easy to get to is GONE by the time that they are done. A/C Pumps, accumulators, condensers (if it wasn't already gone in a head-on), and the like are GONE. They might leave an evaporator alone as it's hard to get to, unless you bust the CC core open, but everything else of worth is _gone_. And that's just speaking of A/C components.

A 1984 dust cover won't be found at a junk yard, else i'd be gone as well. As you, said, a good welder can be the best. Hell 1984 was the year The Terminator was in the box offices. Have you seen what Linda Hamilton looks like now? She ain't too pretty, that's for sure. 38 Years more old is all, Oldchevy.
