Body work

Anyone ever replace the wheel arches on their trucks? I was looking at LMC Truck, Bronoco graveyard or rock auto to get them from. Any experience with who has a better product?

Also, any tips on how to do it? this will be our first attempt but we will be practice welding on some other items before we tackle the truck.

I have stitch welded rear quarters before, just practice a bit with a mig or tig


if not too rotted, just add on flares to hide it unless you don't like the looks

Heck yeah. Flares so when it rusts out from past them you have no outer wheelhouse or bedside.

Smh

Do it right and cut the cancer out.

Otherwise just let it rot.
