Wondering where i can buy a patch panel for a drivers side rear wheel opening for an 01 dakota. It has started rusting thru above the tire. Seems like every 2nd gen dakota I see here in central N.Y. rust in the same spot. I dont even know if they make them. Chrysler wants to sell you the whole box side. Didnt really want to go there. TIA Kelly

 

i would say just get someone you know with some metal working skill and go for it yourselves. i did a full tub on a 89 foxbody myself, wasnt too bad.

 

yea, its either the whole side or fab one up,
mine hasnt rusted there, not even a little bit

 

yeah, i live in chicago and we use more salt in 6 months here than the rammen noodles company does in a year. and my truck is rust free.

 

+3 on the no rust either. funny, you have an 01 as well.
