I have a 2003 Chevy avalanche with cladding. I noticed the rear quarter panel on the front side of the wheel is all rotted out under the plastic cladding. It a apears to be a separate piece. Can the separate metal piece be easily replaced? Does it just bolt in, or does it need to be welded in?
 
Any exterior body steel other than hood, doors or front fenders will be a weld on item unless replacing the whole cab..

My truck has been great for rust until past year... Rust is now "exploading" from all of the normal locations... Hood, rear 1/4's, rear in front of rear wheels...
Thinking about grabbing some old doors I have from another vehicle and learn how to weld body panels myself...
