Rust around fenders and cab

Hello I was wondering if anyone knew some legit ways to fix the paint chipping and rust on old Ford body panels,or just some helpful links. I'm thinking of somewhat restoring it so it doesn't look bad. Here's what i'm talking about

Check our sponsors for patch panels. If the bed is in bad shape, you might want to browse craigslist for another bed.

For the rust above the fenders, new bed sides are a better (but more expensive) solution than patch panels. Here's a thread on a good way to install new bed sides using adhesive rather than welding for better rust resistance. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-bedsides.html
