Damn rust

<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d1d1e1; COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1 itxtvisited="1"> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->
96 Ford F-150
300 c.i

So the rust over the rear fenders is getting to be a bit much, the wife says fix it. I told her it adds personality.

I am looking to put after market covers in an effort to hide the "personality". I am not able to find the part number.
Can anyone help a guy out?

Bushwacker fender flares. Several aftermarket companies sell them at diferant prices so shop around. But...even if you hide the rust it wont take long to rot the whole bedside off.

something like ..

LMC Truck Parts - Page 2 .. for a little bit o rust

LMC Truck Parts - Page 75 .. for a bit o rust ..

LMC Truck Parts - Page 33 .. for a lot o rust ..

I would use one of those 'rust restore' type products before 'covering it up' ..

Bushwacker

Part #20904-11 I found them for $300 thru amazon.

I will taclke the rust one of two ways. Gring it out as best I can and prime it or cut the rust out and prime it.

Thanks for the links. I'll post pics if I get this done soon.

cut out or grind out what you can. expose the rust and then use some of this Rust Reformer - BIC Warehouse

My grandfather used some on his 80's CJ and stopped the rust cold (without priming or coveringit). Rust hasn't moved for 7 years now. Hopefully they haven't changed the forumula in the last 7-8 years (god knows they would for environmental reasons...) I am dealing with the same problem on the twins... one is getting rust reformer and the other is getting a new bed... I think walmart carries the same rust converter in the auto section by the bondo... Aerosol spray cans of rust converter have all failed me and not done much... just FYI...
