Does anyone know a company that sells patch panels for this area?
Or should I try searching for a parts vehicle?
This is my first restoration and I welcome any assistance and advice.

If I were you I'd start searching wrecking yards for '60s Suburbans. If you Google "Texas classic car wrecking yards" you'll find listings like https://www.autoevolution.com/news/h...ed-173523.html
