Awesome job man !! Every 3rd gen Dodge Ram I've owned rusts in the same exact spot. Actually, every one that I see on the road has the same rust. Many guys will cover it with the plastic wheel fender extenders. Those look ok, but I love how the body looks when it is rust free.

Thank you. Yes, every one I see is the same. They are not hard to fix either.

How does the outer panel and inner arch attach? I’ve heard some people say the foam adhesive strip Dodge used was the culprit for the rust to begin with

[@LBMCDodge]

I couldn't tell on this bed on how it was attached due to so much rust damage. I punched holes in the outer panel lip and welded it to the replacement wheelhouse where they marry up.
