Why not go with a fiberglass patch using a woven sheet of fiberglass to cover the hole?

One thing is for sure, a quick fix will not stay hidden for very long. You should cut out the rot and weld in new, but not everyone has that option...

duct tape is just gonna make you quack up later on down the road when a chunk of bondo goes flyin off your truck, from using it with duct tape.. do what Kyle said and find someone near you to weld in a new piece of metal and do right the first time around..theres only so much duct tape in this world..

I doubt hurculiner will patch a hole. Fix it right, you'll be happier with it in the long run, where Bondo or fiberglass would crack and start to seperate from the metal, a new piece of metal will still look good. It's not a hard place to weld a new piece in either, it's a flat surface, just make sure your buddy knows what he'd doing and that he gets his payment of beer AFTER he's done the work lol.
