That is a real bad place to get rust, but fortunately it's accessible from both sides...the one hole I've got is the only hole I've got...for now. I was so blinded by the condition of the rest of the truck (not to mention that I HAD to have it) that I didn't even notice that issue.
Kinda funny, I've been working on Mopars for 30 years. My bud who is storing the Ford for me is a prolific Mopar builder (Cummins swaps) who has cabs and beds and just about everything I would need to "fix-up" a Dodge truck...and I went and bought a Ford
. He even took me to go GET the thing and followed me home. He's a good friend and even hardcore Mopar guys can appreciate a Ford truck...I'm on my second.

Nice truck, it seems you have the common Lund visor rust issues. Dennis Carpenter has drip rail repair pieces. Roof Side Drip Rail Repair Panel | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts
When did they start making those!!! I ended up sectioning a pinto station wagon roof into my project because I couldn't find any drip rail.
