So my driver and passenger side of the cab are rusty, I fixed the driver side this summer but the passenger side is getting bad its rusted through right under the door hinges and I don't really know how to go about fixing it any help please?
Are those pics of the rocker panel? If so you can weld in patches. you just have to make sure you cut out ALL the bad metal other wise it will be back
Just buy piece #14 in the link below. I have used it before and it really adds strength back and ties the front of the cab back to the rear.

I was thinking about just patching it with some galvanized steel and welding it in, I'm kind of nervous to cut away the rot cause it looks like it goes in pretty far
That would just be a half assed way to do it
can you tell me a little more frank, do I have to cut the old rocker panel off or is this like a slip on and weld it
Your cab doesn't look too bad. It should be fairly easy to fix.
Isn't welding galvanized steel dangerous? I thought I was told it produces a poisonous gas.
