OUCH!
thats why I always thought it was best not to screw with what doesn't need to be screwed with lol
so what are you going to do now? try to re-bondo it and hope for the best?

Re: when it rains it poors
 

well since i dont have a welder or any money i am probably put rust converter all over it then eather bondo, silicone, or fiberglass over it

Re: when it rains it poors
 

pot, i think you may need a truck

Re: when it rains it poors
 

naw man it aint that bad

Re: when it rains it poors
 

Unless you can cut it out and weld in a new section your best bet would be to sand it clean and fiberglass over to prevent water from coming in.

That is NOT the correct way to fix it but knowing your limited budget, it's what I would consider.

Re: when it rains it poors
 

Wow, I feel your pain. I bought my truck 2 years ago, looked great with shiny gloss paint. Now I am replacing the bed, fenders, doors, rockers, cab corners the correct way.

I've never seen these trucks with rot in that section before. Wow

Wow I live in salt infested Canada and I never never seen one that bad here even

Re: when it rains it poors
 

yeah this is just a temporary fix till about a month or so and i get a welder

Re: when it rains it poors
 

funny this is this truck came from Canada then the owner moved to daytona and lived on the beach with it lol

Re: when it rains it poors
 

Thats why I love original paint trucks. No bondo to worry about! My truck is original paint and original no bondo!

Thirdstreettito, I've never notice your avatar pic, now that I've thought about
it it kinda reminds me of my ex-wife having a blast. J/k.. Keep on trucking!

Re: when it rains it poors
 

Poke I agree with the fiberglass fix for the budget, but you may also keep an eye out for a cab. Sometimes you can find them pretty cheap.

Re: when it rains it poors
 

Just come down here to south GA and I will take you to my favorite junk yard and you can pick from about 8 square body cabs. There is one in particular that is perfect and he is pretty cheap too. He has a four wheel drive cab sitting on the ground so all you would have to do is load it on a trailer. The yard is outside of Nashville Ga 10 minutes from my house. I go there on a weekly basis.

Gimme a call@ 229-415-8342

Re: when it rains it poors
 

thanks man and that my be a near future thing to do but im broke and i live in south GA your about an hour and a half from where i live

Re: when it rains it poors
 

When ever you are ready. I will call and ask him how much his bare cabs go for.

Re: when it rains it poors
 

thump might have the right idea. It would be a lot easier and may come out better looking too. That's one of those areas, that once damaged by rust or dents its real hard to get it back looking factory again, at least for me...lol

Re: when it rains it poors
 

I would consider selling the stereo to buy a cab. Its better to be dry and not have a radio then be wet with a nice sound system.

Re: when it rains it poors
 

hehehe ..decisions, decisions

Re: when it rains it poors
 

well its fixed i used rust converter a wire brush some silocone fiber glass and a little bondo

Re: when it rains it poors
 

sorry i didnt see this before you fixed it but when you cover rust use some stuff cal POR15 and the glass over or whatever you need www.por15.com its badass and seals rust from any air to keep rusting!
