I watched a hammer welding demonstration last summer where the guy was
fixing things like you describe using a torch. I suspect you are talking to
the wrong welders, and need to talk to a body man who started in the 50's or
60's.

Subject: [oletrucks] Hole repair in stepside bedsides
My bedsides have multiple holes drilled in them, for tiedown hooks.
Since both sides of the metal are visible, what's the procedure for
filling these holes. I talked to a couple of welders, they think that
the heat from welding will distort the metal too much. Is there a
non-welding method? I'm planning on doing the inside of the bedsides
with Herculiner, if that helps. What method of welding would work? I
see guys in the magazines welding holes like this, and they don't seem
to be having any trouble. Am I talking to the wrong welders?
