92 b2200 rust repair

I was wondering if anyone has experience with rust repair on the inner front fenders more specific where the hump you have a tendency to rest your foot ,sort of leads to behind the kick panels,where the ecm resides (blew 2 before relocating it).This is the most serious body issue I have,& I'm looking for directions on how to proceed.It appears like the front clip has to come off to access the area,but, if someone has a shortcut that lasts I'm all ears.Thanx jpp

have you peeled the carpet back?
i had the same problem
if you take the fender off you can access the panel and cut it out and weld in a new piece pull off the inner fender, and check the floor and everything around that area,tap it with a hammer, you shouldnt need to pull the cab off

Thanx for the fast reply, the damage wraps under the cab,I repaired the floor 4 yrs ago for safety & I did a quickie at the time(black).My other 92 ext. (red)which I bought last weekend has frame rot at the back of the cab which was known before purchase,however the inner fenders are good .I don't know how to weld or the equipment,if you had the choice which one would you tackle? I'm leaning towards the black orginal truck(I bought from the orginal owner ,complete history documented including the deer strike (front end damage,no frame damage) jpp

i think they all rust there. the fresh air duct collects crap like leaves and pollen in a corner in that area, it stays wet, rust. i have fixed one (in primer) need to fix the other side. every one i see here in junkyards are all rusted out there.



as long as the repair is not massive, you can use panel adhesive to attach new metal ($30). cut out the rusted area, form new panels to fill the hole, make a "filler" and glue it all together, strong as weld.....no matter welding or using the adhesive, it's a pretty big job.

if you want to try glue, it's easy. lets say you cut back to good metal(yellow), then you glue the filler(blue) piece to that, then butt up the patch(red) with more glue, pretty easy.

sheet metal pop rivets or welder and tar lol I think thats how im gonna patch mine up.
