Hey all,
Above the left rear wheel I kinda rubbed up a tree a lil bit and its creased in to the point I don't feel like pusing the dent out, mostly because of that little ridge/flare around the wheel wells. And I don't feel like separating all those **** spot welds to replace the whole bed side, so I was thinkin just finding a weld in piece would be good. Problem is I can't find any for 94+ dodges, only 1st gen (I have a 98.)

Has anyone seen weld-in pieces for 2nd gen body? Also how about some place to get Radiant red paint (LHF I beleive?) for less than $100/qt? Thanks for any help.

I have also looked for body repair parts before - specifically the bottom of the cab under the doors and the rear bottom corners of the cab. I could not find any but if anyone has a source I wold like to know too.

You could always take a cutoff wheel to a junkyard bedside if you can find one with most of the arch in good shape. You might have to cut out and patch any rusted spots..
You could even just cut out the creased part and weld in a patch and use glass and filler to make the shape. If youre good with glass, maybe a mould of the other side and then transfer it to the damaged part?
The fender arches usually rot out at the joint of the wheelhouse if you live in a bad climate.
My doors were completely rotted through. I just bought a used set and patched them with metal panels and glassed / filled over the repair.

Here ya go. If you don't want to replace the whole side, cut out the wheel well opening. I don't know how these guys are to deal with though. I've never bought anything from them.

Try this place, they had what i need and were very reasonably priced. Also they were very helpful, too. If I ever have to do this stuff again (God I hope not!) I'll go back to them. Browns of Two Rivers

I saw on "Trucks" today that Year One is making parts for 94-04 Dodge Rams
They might be worth a try.

Thanks for the tip. I did check their website and I can only find repair panels for Chevy trucks. Maybe I'll give them a call next week to see what they have.
