Thanks! Wish the bedside and fender agreed. Not sure if I should just weld a patch on the right/bottom fender or just replace the whole thing. One of my two bedsides was rusted through pretty good. The other bedside I have seems salvageable, but on the inside/back of it, it looks like some bad rust. My fear is that if I don't replace it entirely, the rust will break through to visible areas after I paint it. That'd suck. Can't seem to find any decent (oem) bedsides for a LWB around here.

For the sandblasting, I asked their permission to post their name (w/the pictures) - but not sure I got a response. I'll end up going back to get some more work done and I'll ask again.
