Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Ok, too cool even here in Texas to spray epoxy primer on the cab, so I've moved to the bed. For the most part, its in pretty good shape except for a couple spots behind the wheel wells, and the bed floor itself is rusted pretty thin. After removing the trim and rails, I started tackling a rusted spot in the bed side. In an attempt to reach a "last page" on my build rather than having each page listed, I'm going to post a step by step of this rust repair.

I'd bought a patch from LMC that actually would replace the entire lower rear bedside, but cut out just a small portion of it that I needed to deal with the rusted area. I used electric shears to cut out the patch. Then I held the patch up to the bedside and used a sharpie to outline the patch, and a cutoff wheel to cut out the bad part of the bed side.
