rust free body parts?
 

hey so ive thought it would be sper cheap to fix my rust due to its just wheel well and just my bottom of my doors thinking hey they should sell a complete door online, they sell every door for every vehicle except 1st gen dodge? wtf! does someone know were to find the complete door?

Also. my bed of my truck it would be easier to just find a complete rust free bed cause the panels that u can replace the wheel well i dont know how to do myself and i went to every body shop and they say it wil cost about $1000 without paint... and i saw a rust free box in summer for $300 should have bought it then. is it easy to install the body pannels for a beginner (not looking for a great job due to its my bush truck.. but i hate looking at huge rust holes..)
a huge redneck once told me to use spray expandable foam and then shave it off and bondo it haha would that actually work or last threw one mud puddle?

Also would a 79 short box work with my 81 cause i like the look of the first box style

To replace body panels like wheel well arches you need to be able to weld, grind, and then the mudding, sanding, etc.

As far as the "spray foam" deal - that will last about 10 minutes and look like crap

For parts keep checking www.car-part.com

As for the step box is your truck long bed or short bed? A short bed isn't going to look good on a long bed truck.

sorry yea its a short box so makes it harder to find box's

They may have them come spring https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ming-soon.html

Rust
 

Like all dodge truck owners I too had bad rust over my rear wheels. I purchased "Patch Panels" from JC Whitney of all places. The local body shop put them in and painted it up and it still looked good after 7 years when I sold the truck. It was pretty cheap too.

Yes you would, at least my 86 has the vent window's.
