Rust issues

For the most part my truck is rust free. But it's odd certain things have rust on them. I found the rust under the cab today that's not savable has anyone tried to replace these?


I was hoping I'd be able to get sections from a parts truck an just cut the bad out an weld in the new parts.

To be honest, unless I'm missing something in the pictures or it's a show truck, I'd just hit it with this kit. SUPER STARTER KIT - Black . These products are available in spray cans also but I think the brush on would be better for getting inside that top area. I've used it several times over the years and it works very good.

I would do that but I can take two fingers and it breaks apart there's no integrity left to the metal.

The metal doesn't look like all integrity is lost. POR 15 is like magic, and if too far gone i assume you know the only option is to leave it and let the cancer spread or get it cut out and replaced and prepped with por 15 anyways
