I've got a hole rusted through the bed of my Tacoma pretty much right on the wheel well. What is the best course of action to fix this shit? I've been thinking I might just replace the 2 panels completely but I imagine that will be expensive as shit.

Wire wheel the rust away. Weld a thin metal plate to your bed. Alternatively, wire wheel and duct tape

Thats what I was thinking of doing, although I imagine it will look like shit. A body shop in town gave me a $500 estimate to fix but I imagine they won't do anything other than weld a plate to it.

put a bed mat/cover/coating over it and call it a day.

>i've never looked at what's underneath the plastic bed cover of my 1993 S10

Drive it to a Chevy dealer.

It's dissipointment user. Dissipointment all below your bed liner

Cut it, primer it, spot rivet a plate and paint all of that. Then maybe get a bedliner.

don't talk to me, or your father like that ever again.

If Dad loved me he wouldn't have let them put a 4 banger in me!

Your mother had one too.

Cut it out as a rectangle then weld in a new panel.

For body work that's pretty cheap

>Hole in the bed
Lose the bed, get a flat deck

I over payed for a rusted out pos
Just realized its a rusted a pos
Still think rusted out pos is worth fixing
The post

Just do a roll on bed liner after the weld, it's like $80 for a kit

yep, pretty much 100% what I'm doing. Gonna call up the body shop tomorrow.

That's just shotty workmanship.
