The diamond plate is probably trapping moisture between it and the bedsides, and causing the rust.

I have no experience with them but I've heard Mar-k products are top notch.

You should consider cutting out the rusted area and making a patch panel to replace it. it's a flat piece of 16 gage so fabbing would be simple, but it would be a lot of welding. good news is it's mostly hidden.

Don't think I know of anyone who repops Step Sides.

If they did, they would be horrible like all the other re pop Chinese metal

rust seems to be right where the old wood floor is. I'm going to cut a patch and fix the rust, as well as remove old wood The flange is the rusted part on the fenders (where they bolt to bed sides) lmc sells repop fenders 250 each going to get those and steps as well

That's why I usually buy NOS or Rust free at the least!
I'm in Michigan Major Rust-belt so there's a reason for it.

Plus who buys Repops anyhow? These are American pickups! Not Asian!?

It’s just my nature I guess. I’d suggest not using Bing also but I’m sure a search on there would have netted some results. On the plus side you can never say you don’t know of anyone who repops stepside fenders!

Yeah... I'm Bi-Polar as ****. So Go figure. Haha.
So sometimes I blast out F*** You etc depends on my moods.
I use google once in a blue moon. i just use bing b/c I can use the point for a Microsoft store credit which is like $5 - 10 gift cards so I can buy certain programs or TV Shows.

Sorry about the tone & the fenders thing.
