Dent side bed corners

Looking, but not finding bed corners.
Did a search, didn't find anything.
Specifically looking for the area around the tail lights.

Thanks.

for the area around the taillights you'll have to replace the whole bedside, I dont think I've seen a replacement that is just that section. Its a pain in the *** too because there are a number of spot welds around the taillights (like 6 below it and one right next to it along with the 2 on the inside, plus a handful at the bottom that you can't ever find).

I've never seen one rust there, I would think finding them off a different truck should be easy. My truck just got full bed sides installed. The old sides are scrapped or I'd cut them off for ya, they were nice.

Hmmm... I was hoping.
Because I am going to cut the bed up (shorter&bobbed) I really cant justify bedsides.
Guess I'll look for a used bed or build a tube/flat bed.

if you find someone that has a rusted out bed, like said above, that area normally doesn't rust out. so you might pick up a smashed or rusted bed cheap and cut those pieces off. prolly best bet.

No rust on the bed.
Except the Pass side rear corner.
That and it got bumped and being paper thing it ripped open and the OE 1975 tail light is fine.
