The only permanet fix is to weld in new metal. Mig welding is simple to learn. Contact your local street rod club.... I bet there is someone that will help.

Patch panels are available for these areas lower cab corners aren't to bad to change but should be welded in. As far as side panel of bed that is a bit more work in fact its easy to mess it up, thats a long streight panel. The big problem is what you see is not all there is. I would suggest you buy or at least look into buying a bed. There are plenty out there for around $500 or $600. Where your at there should be places to check with. What year is the truck?

Weld it! It's the only way to permanently fix these problems.

i can get a bed for 150 so thats not a issue the cab is though. does someone make patches or do i have to make one out of sheetmetal?

and its a 92

Lot of companies make cab corners and rockers. Do a google search for "patch panels"

thanks guys
