Default 03 Dodge Ram 2500 rear wheel well covers

The rear wheel well is rusting out on my truck because to my surprise, Dodge didnt put wheel well covers on my truck. The problem is, they no longer make wheel well covers for this year which means that my truck will probably not survive another winter. I always took care of this truck and because Dodge didnt put wheel well covers on it, Im gonna lose the truck. Mopar stopped making them and there is no aftermarket wheel well covers that I can find. Does anyone know where I can get rear wheel well covers for a 2003 dodge ram 2500 5.7 Hemi long bed manual? Thanks!

You sound upset and surprised that they stopped making an add on accessory for a vehicle that's been out of production for 10 years lol...did you look anywhere else or just two separate posts worth of butthurt because Mopar doesn't anymore?

I have spent over 5 hours on the phone making calls to parts places and several hours researching before I made these posts. Yes, I am butt hurt because I cannot find another 4 door long bed stick pickup truck to replace this as this is what I need to travel with my 5th wheel. I am also butt hurt that I may have to scrap this truck because of 2 pieces of plastic that Dodge should have put on. I spoke with Chrystler/Dodge and they are aware of this mistake and they do get alot of calls on it. They have no solution.

Merged duplicate threads. No need to post duplicate threads on the same subject. Maybe you could find a spray on solution, similar to spray on bedliner? Heck, maybe just use spray on bedliner....

My apologies for the double post. I didnt feel that the title on my firt post was sufficient and I couldnt find how to delete it. The spray on bedliner wont work because there is a big hole that the water sprays through and coats the whole undercarriage of the truck. The bedliner wont cover this hole.

If they don't have them then you may be able to adapt a set from a 4th gen; will require modification but I imagine they can be made to work.

I called Jegs and the listing was a mistake. They no longer sell it. Back to square 1.
