sure would, for the section behind the door - the place you'd be left with real fab work would be around the wheel wheel and behind, where the rocker molding tapers to nothing ... and from the 4 panel trucks I've had experience with, if they're rotten in front of the wheel, they're rotten all the way back

the pic shows some of the work done by an insanely good tin basher friend, about the bottom foot all hand fabbed of new metal [ pics of a trip to his place in \'05 ] - this is a buddys 56 , all hand fabbed quarters, different bodyman

I'm going to cut the inner panel away below floor level and block between the 2 panels ... it's the double wall with the pinch welds along the bottom that causes those quarters to rot, you never see that kind of rot in the same climate on the quarters of the same vintage fleetside, which doesn't have the inner panel to collect damp rust flakes from the unfinshed metal
