Welcome to the site. I live in Pittsburgh on the Northside in Brighton Heights, if you wanna come by sometime I can check it out for you and let you know for sure if it needs a patch welded in or just sanded down and repainted. My neighbor is a bodyman/frameman, Pa. inspector from his garage/ business behind his house so if you need patch's he could probably do it cheaper then a body shop.

Have any other rust on the truck, rockers/fenders/etc? If not I'd surely remove/dismantle the bed and replace the parts. It's not a real difficult job, just requires some extra muscle to pick up the bed.

Thats the back side view.

Rust never sleeps.

The bed and rear fenders are composite (not metal) so it must be mounting brackets that are doing the rusting. Like Steve M wrote, I would take it apart and replace what is rusting.

Where can i look for this mounting brackets?
