I am restoring a 1975 Eleganza. I just removed the bogies and I discovered rust behind the wheels. The drivers side is the worst with some areas bowed from rust and delaminating. While it is not rusted through I think I should deal with it. My plan is to get some 1/8 in steel bent in an "L" and removed the side and bottom portion either side of the bogie mounts and weld the new pieces in place.
Any one with similar experiences and/or advice will be appreciated.
Regards,
Tony

You should post this to the GMC net, you will get more response since a lot of readers don't monitor the swap meet.
