If there are no patch panels made, go to a pull apart with a gas operated cut off saw or a battery operated sawsall and cut out a good section.
Trim out your rust and weld in the used part. No, I'm not going to teach you 30+ years of body experience in one thread on the Internet. |

16 or 18 gauge sheet metal. Get out your yellow pages and find a metal supplier. L channel is made with a box and pan break. Do you weld? Do you have body hammers? You could do a decent repair with a pint of Devcon Pro-steel industrial epoxy and the sheet metal. I could fix that in 2-3 hours. Is that part Item 16 on this page: shite, wrong year, up to 91. I am not sure of the body style runs of that era, but look around on that site. LMC truck |

I have welded repair panels in before no problem. If they made the repair panel I would be good to go.
I just didn't know with today's epoxies and what not if there was a time saving solution over forming my own and patching. The pictures not showing very well but there's a recessed pocket that runs along that area that has me a little baffled. |
