Thanks guys I appreciate the acknowledgment. What I have learned is from working on these trucks out of necessity. I do this as a hobby and want to learn as much as possible on every phase of fixing, repairing, rebuilding, restoring these trucks. Again thanks for the mention.
On the drivers side bed side lower front portion right before the wheel opening there is a tear in the metal just before the bedside brace on the inside. This will be another challenging repair that I hope to save the original metal. There is not only the tear in the metal but a buckle which I am sure would require some shrinking of the metal to stop any oil canning that will probably happen after the tear is fixed. If it does not turn out well then I have a repair panel on its way just incase.
