Here's the rear cab patch tacked in. It took out the rest of the cancer in my truck. After the final welds and it's smoothed we'll be adding plating on top of it to run to the cab corner. Underneath I have a full weld on cab support we will be welding on top of the factory one. That will reinforce it and be the main structure. I am using sleeves for the other cab corners that will be bolted and welded on. They are intact with some rust in them and I'm going to sleeve them so they're all the same thickness.

Underneath

Fenders being worked on

Inside scuffed up from PO's Paint job
