Some peoples' ideas
Went to the pull and pay place today, and saw some guys idea of "rust repair". This looks like it was a quality job.

Yep duct tape, and red primer, gotta make sure the colors match, or else it would be embarassing

Looks like the truck was practically held together with nothing but duct tape. Gotta do what you gotta do, but I'd have been saving for rust repair panels, or a donor bed and doors. Still sad to see it in a pull and pay place.
