Lower hinge pilar pocket install

[Vals59]

Does anyone have pictures of this in progress? I have read a ton of build threads and searched also. Thanks for all the help so far. Been picking away at and making progress on the cab.

Here is mine starts around post 54. Driver side did most of it, passenger, just the lower part. The cab side was not too bad, just made some patch panels and welded them in.

no pics, only recommendations
just because the patch plate is a foot long and full width of the door jam
doesn't mean you need to use the whole patch

cut out the rusted area and cut the patch to match, i used 10% of the patch panel
that imo, was easier than doing the whole patch and cutting all the spot welds out
