Default Replacing seat rail support

Doing a big build project leveraging a 1980 SC as the base vehicle and the guy working on the body has asked that I find a replacement seat rail for the passenger side. However, I'm struggling to find the right part so thought I'd check to see if anyone knows what part number I should be looking for here. You can see the pitted seat rail support in the image attached.

Thanks!

P.S. yes, we are replacing the floorpans too

Thank Iceman, I did earlier this morning - emailed with Alex DeJonge there. They said they don't make it at this time.

Yes, I am fearful of the fact that I may have to find a donor vehicle (salvage) to take this off. Interestingly enough there are companies that make this part for older cars, just not this generation.

The damage you see here is a result of someone leaving the car with the sunroof open for a long time (think years). Let's just say that I had to be quite violent trying to get the seats out as they were rusted beyond belief and were not moving one bit!
