Removing the outer skin is not necessary but I had to do it anyway so it did make it easier, also flipping the cab up on its back was a big help. If you would be doing this repair while the cab was still bolted to the frame it would be a little more tricky as all welding and fitting would need to be done over head. And yes this is an actual replacement panel that I butt welded in place, it fit pretty well and ran me $75 i believe, here is a link.
