I bought one recently from Kaiserwillys, I think it was drop shipped from Omix-Ada. Not cheap, but it is sturdy, has the wood in the channels, and is fully primed. It is a beautiful sight considering mine is missing completely.

I purchased one from Classic Enterprises last year. It too came with the wood insert in the horizontal channel. And just fyi.....be sure to specify that you want the one WITH the tail light cut-outs and the surrounds.....cause they can supply them without as I discovered the hard way. Lamont made it right though in every regard. The end panel I received was bare metal with a light tooling oil film. It was sturdy....the tack welds were excellent....and it fit very well......and all the mounting holes lined up with the rear cross member. You will need to locate and add an external horizontal channel to the end panel as this item does not seem to be available in anyone's repro end panel.
