    Are there holes in it or just rust patches?

    Patch and paint. Maybe bedliner on the whole thing to prevent anything in the future

    Depends on the size of the hole but to maintain strength I would get a local body shop to use a metal patch then go to Home Depot and get a few cans of spray bedliner.

    Complete OME kit w/ 881's and dakars. All-Pro Sliders, CB, HAM Radio and various other minor stuff.
    As others have said, if its rusted through you'll need to weld in a patch. Once done, professional or home bedliner to prevent future rust.
