Cab rust
1 Attachment(s)
Just like everyone at some point in time, i got some rust on the back corners of my 62 c10. I have the bed off right now after just replacing all the bed wood and want to get it back on relatively soon. I also know i should get this rust fixed before hand. I’m by no means a body shop guy or a welder. But i was thinking of just filling these small holes with a welder and then grinding it down flat. Will that work? I am more of a rat rod type so it does not have to be perfect. But at some point i might want to give it a nice paint job. Advice? Thanks

Re: Cab rust
would be near impossible to weld rust holes up...cut out and replace is best option

Re: Cab rust
mongo is right. The metal there is so thin that you will be chasing it all over, even on low heat. You will need to buy a cab corner. General practice is to replace only as much of the original sheet metal as needed - don't use the entire patch panel. I remember replacing the cab corners on my dad's 64 and it had a lot less rust than yours and we replaced a tiny spot and I ended up chasing the metal around.

Re: Cab rust
Not the answer i was hoping for. But figured that was going to be the answer. Thanks for your advice. Time to find a welder and buy some patch panels!
