where tub/bed meets tailgate

[Jon Scully]

Hello there,

I know this may be a 'body' question...but I would really likethe blazer/jimmy guys opinions on this!

I have a 71 blazer, and I know i can do the body work, no big deal to patch a few straightforward spots-- I have done that before

My question is, How do you repair the last 6in of 'tub/truck bed'???????????

It is rusted right at the end of the bed where it meets the tailgate-- the PO prob left a buch of leaves etc there.....

Anyways-- Are there path panels for this? SOme kind of plastic alternative?

This is not a show truck-- so any ideas on how to get rid of the cancer are welcome-- does not have to be a 'stock' solution.

I plan to put a quality rhino line with a carpet/ rubber mat over top in the end.......

I have seen threads on using a 73-87 bed floor (easy to find etc) BUT--- mine is only bad for 6 inches or so.......



As always thanks to this great community-- I brag about this site all the time lol
