Here is a pic of the DS corner before I took it down to bare metal and after I took it down to bare metal. The first pic shows a piece of metal the previous owner had screwed to the back lower corner of the cab. For what reason, I don't know. All in all it looks to be in pretty good shape. I will be able to make a patch panel for this side. The last pic is a view of the backside, or underside. You can see that there is a lot of rust but most of it is surface rust. I think I will try to remove the undercoating so I can treat the metal there, then put a fresh coat of undercoating on it.
My plan of attack will be to cut out the rusted metal from the back side and weld in a patch. Then I will cut out the rusted metal on the outside and weld in that patch. I will make both patches for these. I will also make sure that where the outside and inside metal meet will be welded up to stop moisture from getting in there form the outside
