Question Rusted Out Cab Corners

The cab corners on my truck have rusted out and need replaced. I have found a place where I can get new corners for $20 a piece. Should I buy the new pieces that will fit it or try to patch it? If anyone else has had to do some repairing on their cab corners maybe you could give me a few ideas. Thanks.

ive tried fixing them both ways and il tell you what your better off with the new cab corners rather than messing around trying to patch the old ones.

I went with the new cab corners as well, I just did this repair about two months ago. My gallery under restoration pictures has 8 pictures of the repair. Maybe it could help you out. Depending on how bad yours are rusted out you might need to move the bed back. I had to because my where so rusted out. Good luck, Fred
