www.classicparts.com part # 44-253 or 44-254 looks like what you need. Door pillars, found under patch panels.

I dont think the pocket is reproduced (if thats the part your looking for.) might have to find a donor or like suggested above make your own .
If your a member of stovebolt.com you can put a request in a “parts wanted” section. they have a few guys who part out AD trucks. Ive purchased some dash patch panels from there Might be worth a shot This is a tricky repair
Thanks, I have not made that repair so cannot help. But I would imagine you would make sure you hang and fit door, check gaps before you final weld the pocket and close up the outer cowl. Good luck .
I was waiting for my son so I had to go looking. This may be the parts you are looking for if they are available. https://raybuck.com/product/1947-55-gm-pickup-front-lower-door-pillar-driver-side/ https://raybuck.com/product/1947-55...ing_wp_cron=1605294615.0499060153961181640625
I've got a pair of door posts that might have good ones on them. I'll look in a bit. You might check with Premier street rods and see if they have them for their cab builds. They don't show them in the catalog but do show 55--- 59 hinge pockets. Their catalog is the most disorganized mess on the net as far as car parts goes though https://www.premierstreetrod.com/
still no luck but I appreciate the help!! I think ill just have to make something. thanks again guys!!
