I bet there are only 4-5 people on this site that know what the correct filler rod is. I also bet those same poeple are the only ones who could actually do this job right.

And further more… since the S/S section would be welded to the mild steel section. IF that mild steel section rots out then the S/S patch will just fall out with it…

Better idea would be to replace the entire frame rail but that is even more time consuming, costly and requires someone who knows what their doing.
