Looking for some expert advice on that brace/support area on the left of the pic if we have any body shop guys here. I certainly don't want to screw this up. That area looks important for body support and rigidity. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone else have this issue and experience in repairing it? Many thanks
Unfortunately, it is hard to get much rust repair guide here on 100 series forum. Instead, you will get plenty of comments on how fixing a rusty truck is pointless. My recommendation is to either show it to a body shop you can trust to get an advice, or if that is not possible, then err on the side of caution and brace the mounting area with extra metal.
It doesn't have to be pretty, it just needs to be functional.

Frame is in great shape overall and even the bolts and clamps in engine bay are rust free, which is why this finding was a shocker.

How many sunroof drains are there and where do they drain out? I’m sure I have bad stuff going on!
Thank you4 drains total, 1 on each corner of the sunroof, 1 in each A pillar and 1 in each C pillar
I just looked under my ‘01 and sure enough, what looked like dirt and some flaky paint opened up into a nice crusty hole, right in the same spot. It’s packed with mud, as was the cavity behind the wheel well liner. I think the culprit is indeed the sunroof drains, as I have holes where they drop in the rear too. Fortunately, I had a date with my rust guy today to look at the frame and he says it should be easy enough to patch. May need an extra gusset for that crossbrace, but once it’s all welded up and sealed, it shouldn't affect structural integrity at all. I’ll look into extending the roof drains out the bottom of the panel while it’s open as a preventative measure.
