Rust questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all,

General "rust" theory question - I've got PLENTY of the stuff pretty much all over. My question is when do you patch/repair, and when do you replace? (Do I bondo/sheet metal patch a small spot in the door, or replace the door?)

I don't have a good feel for this, and while I assume I'll get some feel for this over time, I'm wondering if there are any "rules of thumb" or general tips anyone has.

I truly hate when one of you mentions "rust free."

Like VTKidder, I may never start with a local truck again

Thanks in advance,
Lefty
