How do I fix this?!



Drivers side is rusty and has the hole and the passenger side is fine but also has a speaker hole how do I fix this? Do they make patch panels for this part of the truck?

I'd cut it at the door jam leave about a inch so you can bend it down to have a lip to weld on to.

It's just a flat piece, shouldn't be too hard to make. I believe in your skills!

The flat parts the easy stuff the rust at the bottom is my main concern as the floor joins the side and is spot welded underneath right?
