Keep Your Rusty Truck on the Road with Dorman Rust Repair Components

Rust. The simple mention of it sends shivers through a truck owner’s body. Not only is it an eyesore, excessive rust can cause parts to crumble or fall off. And if your truck suffers from extreme chassis rot, its useful life is all but over. 

Dorman rust repair components can breathe new life into your old workhorse. That saves you from spending lots of moolah on a replacement truck or Jeep. 

Frame Repair Kits
Up until recently, repairing a rusted-out truck frame typically involved fabricating your own replacement pieces or performing a complete frame swap (like Toyota did on millions of Tacomas, Tundras, and Sequoias). Dorman’s Frame Repair Kits are a cost-effective, time-saving solution that allows replacement of just the failed section. Features include:

  • Engineered to OE contours for an exact fit with all hardware mounting positions in the same place as stock for less work and reduced installation time
  • Reengineered with improved drainage to prevent future corrosion buildup problems
  • Made from heavy-gauge steel and finished in weldable primer to resist future corrosion
Dorman Frame Repair Kits are available for 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler, 1998-2003 Ford Ranger, 2004-08 Ford F-150, and 1999-2007 Chevrolet/GMC Silverado/Sierra 1500.

Truck Bed Floor Patch Panels and Floor Supports
When a truck bed went off to the big work site in the sky due to a severely damaged or rotted-out floor, the only option was to replace it with a fresh bed. Thanks to Dorman, now you can fix your original bed for a fraction of the cost with high-quality, weld-in replacement Bed Floor Patch Panels. The steel is matched to the OE thickness for your application and is identical in design and appearance. The panel’s surface is finished in weldable primer so it’s ready for installation right out of the box.

It goes without saying that if the bed floor is bad, then the floor supports will likely be toast, too. Dorman’s replacement Floor Supports match the factory dimensions perfectly and are coated in the same rust-resistant weldable primer finish as the bed floor panels. New mounting hardware is included.

Dorman Truck Bed Floor Patch Panels are available for 1989-2011 Ford Ranger and 1999-2016 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty. Dorman Floor Supports are available for 1988-2014 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 1500/2500 and 1999-2018 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty.

Cab Mount Bracket Assemblies for 1986-2011 Ford Ranger
Another item the tin worm likes to attack are the cab mounts. Or maybe they were destroyed in a collision or cracked from vibration over time. Regardless of how your mounts went bad, choose Dorman Cab Mount Bracket Assemblies to replace them. They match the fit and function of the OE mounts but have been reengineered for longer life.
