Thanks Jan. I had a problem with the cruise on the 48 and am waiting on a new part from Dakota Digital. When it's installed, it's off to the interior and then more pictures.
Welding, one thing I can say for certain is that my welding sucks!
I did as Russ suggested and held my "bursts" longer to get more heat and thus more penetration. So now they are all welded up, and NO pinholes.
However, I am not a smart man, and I got in two big of a hurry and I have some heat shrink that isn't pretty! I have used a long thin piece of steel shaped to the side of the truck to check and none of the weld is up to that smooth shape of the panel, so it will fill with filler.

So now I have a hammer and dolly after it, and I've worked them to the point where it will take less than 1/4" of filler to smooth them out. I am still going to work it some more, because it needs it, but it is solid and I don't think a small area with less than 1/4" of filler will be a problem.
