hmmm. How difficult are hinge pillars to weld in...?

[jocko]

Found a nice old truck, but lower hinge area has a fair amount of rust according to owner (still waiting on his pics). Assuming the worst and replacement needed, how much of a major pain in the buttocks is this? I have some welding experience, but not a lot.

Thanks guys - just trying to be realistic about what I am in for when I see the close-ups so I can decide if I want to buy this thing. Otherwise, it's just what I'm looking for. From the few average pics I've seen from the sides, the areas do not look too bad on the outside - i.e. no gaping holes where you could see the driver or passenger's feet....
