Patch panels for cab corners

Here is my truck...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=403630

Now, do I need to do the patch panels, if so, best place to get them?

Is there a better easier fix for the rust?

I got mine from LMC.

If you check my build/intro thread linked below you can see the repair. Rather than welding I used the panel adhesive. Seems to be holdling up well.

My body man says that he glues alot of panels. He is getting ready to glue a few pieces on my bed. That is what they do on the newer vehicles from factory. As long as they are not a structural panel.
