Question More styleside woes

I've removed the fenders and have a replacement for the passenger side, however...I have found the lower weldment (next to the door) has rusted away can anyone direct me to a picture of what this should look like or any advice on repairing this would be greatly appreicated!

??? Are you talking about part of the Cab, or part of the fender? Here is a couple pictures that may help.

Smile Walston, it's the cab

The second pic of the cab. at the bottom where the fender attaches about 4 inches of metal is badly rusted or gone. Thanks for the pics! that in itself will help!

If where the door hinge mounts is OK, it is likely repairable. If not it will be a tall task. To my knowledge there are no parts you can buy for 57-60 to repair this. Here are a few pictures from starting to repair the cab before I found a donor cab in great shape. I built a hinge pocket and then decided it was just too far gone. Both sides were bad.
