How are you guys repairing your rusted doors?
Try searching rusty door repair on here haha it turns up everything but repairing cab doors so I thought I would just start a thread. On the bottom side of my doors at the pinch seam its completely rusted through, pulling the exterior side of the door panel outward. should I just cut the cancer out and stitch weld it back with a filler sheet or do they actually make patch panels for this issue?

I used aftermarket full door skins....they are not as heavy gauge steel as the original door skins but are affordable & fairly easy to install.

I did the same. You don't have to use the entire skin, only what is necessary for the repair. I even went ahead with the inner door bottom.

Re: How are you guys repairing your rusted doors?
me being a parts hoarder i cut good metal out of the middle of another rusted out door. then stitched them in. just have to be careful not to warp it, i tack it then hit it with a really wet rag and blow on it with compressed air and have had good results. i learned it from where i work, (I am a mechanic at a restoration shop). I'm always learning new body techniques from the body guys.

You can buy just the inner door bottoms. Got mine from LMC. Brothers has them available as well.
