Here are a few more picts of the B-pillar and front mount. After inspecting where the rust is on the B-pillar mount and the front cab support mount I will repair the B-pillar by cutting out the bad and welding in patches. Doing the same with the cab support mount. I will cut beck until I get inch plus of good metal on the cab support and replace, the rust hole is really not that large and the rest of it is flawless.

So for the driver side the following rust repair will go as follows:

-cut out B-pillar rust spots, treat metal inside and repair with new metal welded from template
-cut out small rust hole in bottom of the cab mount, treat metal inside and weld in patch made from template
-test fit and cut existing floor for replacement inner rocker/outer floor part
-test fit outer rocker and adjust as needed with door back on
-weld everything up, grind, seam seal and prime
-shoot repair area with new single stage Copper poly 522

Running total so far for the truck expenses:
-purchase price $1100
-starter $59
-rag joint $23
-parts ordered $402
--inner rocker/outer floor x2, rockers x2, sill plates x2, lower door skin, front cab support x2, fuel sender, shifter knob, armrest x2, dash pad, heater control switch, rear light kit
-Wheel dollies (tool purchase will not add to total since I will keep) $97
-new 3-way valve for aux. tank with fittings $28
-pvc valve and oil fill cap $16

TOTAL $1628
