That is going to be tuff to find. I used a 150 2 dr wagon quarter, and just a hammer and dolly to reshape the top, and butt weld a patch in the bottom. The bare metal is all the original nomad.

I did some welding around the wing that sticks up there in front, so I used bolts in front of the first drain gutter, and panel bond adhesive from there on back with screws to clamp it to the original metal.

Dick, I know you've done many quarter panel replacements with aftermarket quarters and know how to make them fit....why are you looking for a factory quarter? I think a good one may be almost impossible to find these days. A quarter from a 56 Handyman will work too.
