Front cab support

[Stocker]

So... I've known for awhile that mine are rusted through on the bottom, but seem fine where they join the floor. Several vendors have them on their websites for ~$15, but a couple have "slip-on" repair panels. I don't have a shop or even a garage - just a driveway & carport. Think it's okay to cut away the rot & go with a slip-on? I can probably borrow a welder or get someone to weld it up for me. I just don't want to get into a major project; I need the truck to get to work!
