I had mice build a nest there in my '56, and fixed rust such as by your thumb by using por-15 on the outside, cutting a hole inside the cab, taping the holes with masking tape on the outside, putting por-15 on the inside, then within 6 hrs using resto-grip filler (from the por-15 people) on the inside. Worked great initially, time will tell if the rust reappears. The hole your finger is in seems like a bigger kettle of fish. I second Michael's assessment if there are big holes. However, sand blasting may take out metal that may be saved with por-15 and fibreglas sheets.

Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55
