Hello all, I have some rust at the front bottom near the door jam of the bedsides (both sides). I know there are patch panels for that area... But they also have full bed side? I was thinking spending money on the complete besides if it will save money in the prep department may be more beneficial? I'm not looking for show truck, numbers matching but rust free driver that I'm proud of the way it looks. Once the kids grow up I may look into a nicer restore.

Is the quality of bed sides decent? Is it overkill for just a few rusted areas? I'm on my phone so if I need missed anything I apologize but can fill in details if needed.
