I have a 65 Chevy Truck that has rust around the drip rail and above the windshield. I haven't a clue how to start to repair the rusted areas. Does anyone make repair panel/components for this area?

Unfortunately NOT YET.... But I expect they will get around to it in a couple more years considering all the body panels that are being reproduced by Counterpart, Tri-Plus and Dynacorn.
Just this month, Dynacorn announced the pre-sales of the 47-54 Chevy Cab! Yep, the whole thing in steel ready to trim out and paint!
The next thing on the drawing board is the 55-59 Cab. I am sure the 60-66 will come someday!
In the meantime, your best bet is to find a donor truck to cut parts from or find a rust free cab. Or learn how to perform metal work repairs or fiberglass repairs. As that area you are talking about is a tough area to repair.
Ask around for help.... these boards are a good place to get help and information!
My 2-cents worth, 55-59 Nut
PM me anytime for more ideas.

Thanks! Good Info. I have started to contact salvage yards in an attempt to locate a good cab or cab top. So far I have been amazed at how many yards have old trucks that have been out there so long as to be ruined. If the climate in KY was a bit drier, the salvage yard owners would be sitting on a gold mine.
