Dodge truck bedside and inner wheelhouse replacement

replacing and painting bedsides and inner wheelhouses on a 2008 Dodge truck, with an aftermarket to OEM comparisson

Doesn’t matter if it is a patch panel or a full piece like this video. I never get tired of watching the full process from rusted metal to new paint. It is nice to see you overcome the little things that make the job a little harder as well. Thanks for the content.

Nice job on the inner fender on that rear bed we need more videos like that I think you did a bang them up job on it thank you so much for sharing

Do you have a part number for the outer wheel well part you used? Can’t seem to locate it. What is the part called? Thanks. Awesome video!👍

Should be an RRP3752, inner wheel house , same for both sides I believe

Hi, I'm really enjoying your videos and learning a lot. I am going to start repairing the same rust on a 2007 Dodge Ram and this is a big help. I have priced out the full body side from Lordco also online. I am wondering what your price for the panel was. I am considering just doing the wheel arch and lower box sides simply because of the cost. Thanks!

The 8’ bedsides are around $880, and as ridiculous as it sounds, 6’ panels are around $1600 each ($2200 from Chrysler)

[@alanmccormack67]

Thanks. That's what I've been finding as well.

Are there any solutions for the bed floor being rusted out on these trucks? It seems like they have bed floors for every other truck but this generation of ram.

[@Johnnymidnight]

The bed floor is available through Dodge, no aftermarket that I’m aware of, it’s not overly expensive if I remember correctly, although it doesn’t come as an assembly, so all of the cross braces need to be purchased separately and welded on. (Last time I did one)

[@MSON2021]

Along the top rail did you use the punch or drill for the new plug welds? Looks like mainly a drill, what size drill do you recommend?

[@Johnnymidnight]

Along the top the punch I have doesn’t work, I drill them around 5/16

Ever think about trying fiberglass bedsides? They seem readily available and won't rust again.

[@Johnnymidnight]

No, but I will research them a bit and see what’s available 👍🏼👍🏼
