Rust in floor pan weatherstrip channel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck (72 k10 longbed) isn’t so bad from a rust standpoint but the channel on the floorpan where the door weatherstripping goes is pretty rough. Looks like debris fell down into that channel and collected moisture. Is this a common issue or do people usually have trouble with the whole floor pan? Is there a simple repair technique for this issue?

I was thinking about just welding a strip of metal in underneath the channel, I doubt there is a specific patch panel for this area. Is that an acceptable repair, or is there a better approach?
