Rear Fender Post-Mortem

I recently put a new bed on my truck - NY salt got to her pretty bad. In the post mortem, I cut it up and tried to solve the wheel well rust.

You can flush out the wheel wells very, very easily.
Stick a hose in the tie-down hole right above the rear wheels.
Flush it out a few times a year. Dump a cup or two of used motor oil in there.
If we all start doing this, I think the rotting bedsides will become history.

I've always wondered if that stake hole allowed access to the area that rusts-thanks for the tip!
