Nice truck welcome to the forum. Sorry about the p.o. some are very scandalous. I've seen it all then I get surprised again. Bailing wire, bondo over chicken wire, cardboard and over 2" thick also. A new door skin glued over the old one, it looked pregnant. I can go on and on. Being your DD I understand using a rusty inhibitor and even fastening steel over the rusted area for now. Our trucks are known for rusted out areas like this. I would even expect the inner and outer rockers look that as bad. Do what you need to for now. If you plan it out, have experience or a friend with it can all be done over a weekend or a vacation week from work. Just remember one thing, have fun enjoy working on your truck. Good luck.
