    Okay I have a 90 silverado. Anybody have any problems with rust on the rear fenders right in the arch. Should I replace the rust section or just get a good used rust free truck bed?

    Up here, that is the fate of EVERY OBS Chevy truck. If you fix it, be sure to cut out ALL the rust first. If you swap beds, you should look at rust proofing that area somehow.

    Cut ALL the rust out, definitely. Several companies make patch panels for thsoe kinds of repairs. If you get good metal and have it welded and prepped properly, that can be a long-lasting repair.

    Otherwise, if the rest of the bed needs other repairs or is starting to rot, I'd say to get yourself a rust-free bed and exchange for your current one.
