720RATSUN Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 so while im working on getting the body work done on my truck i've come across a huge pain in the ass. the left rear panel on is rusted through pretty bad and the tail light bucket is bad off as well. i'm going to post some pics as soon as i can find what i did with the carmera. if any one has any ideas of how to fix it please post. and does anyone know if you can buy a whole new replacement panel for the bed??? i'm assuming that would be the better fix if possible. thanks Quote Link to comment
KC Phirus Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah. If it's rusted through. Find a 720 in the junkyard and cut what you need. Quote Link to comment
1980_720_RB Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 pic's will help , but i agree generally if the rust is in a panel that can not be replaced whole , you will need to find where the rust stops and the metal gets good again , cut the rust out in a way that the hole you make can be measured , than take those measurements to the junk yard , cut a larger piece than you need from the doner car trim it to you precise fit and weld the patch . all in all a lot of work but well worth it if your auto is in good mechanical order . good luck .
