I have many rust hole-spots in my truck that need to be fixed. My biggest concern is my rocker panels and cab corners. Then there is the lovely Dodge Ram bed that rusts out like a MF. If any one has had these problems and know any tricks please let me know. I will post pictures of the RUST...

If you up for the drive...hit up Dave at DP Truck Customs. He will fix the rust, then bedline of it (rockers, fenders)

If this was my truck form new it would not look anything like this. Since my dad did not take care of it it looks like this ****... Now his ****** ford can look like this in a couple of years

Thats gonna have to be all cut on and new rockers welded in...not really any tricks or ways around it.

This is A pain in my ass forsure but i just want it to hold and look better than it does now.....

 

[GhostRam94]

Or you can come buy my 03 with perfect rockers and cab corners

 

[SmokedRam]

How do your cab mounts look? Any of them rusted? I mean, if you can fit and weld, this is an easy job...and could be a VERY expensive one if you hire a shop to do it.

 

[SmokedRam]

Well, you can get new rockers and cab corners from LMC...that would bring parts cost to $680...you could go the eBay route on them...My best guess man, is you would be in it for about another $700-$1000 before paint.

 

[Stangshcky12]

There are lots of companies who sell panels
Same quality or better as lMC and more inexpensive

Definitely have to cut and weld
I would use etching primer then maybe bedliner if you don't wanna get into paint

I like that 2003 shortbed. You have both trucks? I have been looking for those rims for the longest time

 

[Rusty1500]

Before

Middle

Finish!

This it my passenger side of the truck and i didnt want it to look liike the driver side. Duraglasss and bondo as a finish. For the Final paint i use Truckbed liner. So it would last awhile! Tell me what ya'll think?
