A cab corner is the lower rear section of a pickup cab behind the door, and it is the panel that rusts first because it traps road spray behind the inner wheel arch. Bed sides, tailgates, cab corners, running boards, flares and grille assemblies for the pickups and SUVs that make up half of what drives in this metro. Counter prices for every variant are in the table below, next to what a dealer parts department charges for the same thing.
What we keep on the shelf
- tailgates and tailgate shells
- bed sides and bedside patches
- cab corners
- rocker panels for extended cabs
- running boards and steps
- fender flares
- truck grille assemblies
- tailgate handles and latches
- bumper steps and pads
- wheel well liners
Terms you will hear at this counter and on the phone: bed side, cab corner, Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500. If any of that is unfamiliar, ask, because getting the vocabulary right is half of ordering the correct part.
Six things worth knowing before you order
- Cab corners rust first on every pickup in this metro, and the reason is the inner arch traps road spray against the outer skin where nobody ever looks.
- An aluminium F-150 bed panel and a steel one from two model years earlier look identical in a photo and will not weld to the same truck.
- Tailgate shells are sold bare, so the handle, latch, cables, camera and trim all move across from the old gate. Budget an hour for the transfer.
- Fender flares that bolt through the fender need the factory hole pattern. Adhesive-mount flares are cheaper and they will lift at the leading edge within a couple of summers here.
- Running boards get bought for looks and then get used as jack points, which is how a bracket ends up folded into the rocker.
- Bedside patch panels are the cheap fix for a rusted wheel arch and they only work when the inner structure behind them is still solid.
- Bed liners bolted through the bed side trap water behind them, and the rust that starts there is invisible until the panel is soft to press.
- Tailgate torsion rods and dampers are what stop a gate slamming down, and a gate that drops hard has usually broken one rather than worn out the hinges.
- Step bumpers on pickups are a separate assembly from the pad and the licence bracket, and all three are sold apart from each other.
- Wheel well liners on trucks are the cheapest rust prevention available and the first thing removed for a lift kit and never put back.
- Fleet-specification trucks often have a delete option on cladding or steps, so the same model year can have two different fender hole patterns.
- Bed side replacement means drilling out dozens of factory spot welds along the top rail, which is why the patch panel exists and why most shops prefer it.

What pushes a truck panel to the top of the range: aluminium construction, factory bedliner texture already applied, integrated step or camera cutouts, and heavy-duty body styles where the panel is shared with the chassis cab.
Why do cab corners rust before anything else on a pickup?
Cab corners rust first because the inner wheel arch traps road spray, mud and salt against the back of the outer panel, where it stays wet long after the visible bodywork has dried.
Are aluminium and steel truck panels interchangeable?
No. Aluminium and steel body panels cannot be welded to each other, and mixing them without isolation creates a galvanic cell that corrodes the joint from the inside.
Does a replacement tailgate come with the handle and latch?
A tailgate shell is sold bare, so the handle, latch, cables, wiring, camera and trim panel all transfer from the original gate.
Before an adjuster tells you otherwise
Texas Insurance Code Section 1952.301 prohibits an insurer from limiting your coverage by specifying the brand, type, kind, age, vendor, supplier or condition of the parts used to repair your vehicle, and Section 1952.302 prohibits an adjuster from telling you that you must use a shop from a preferred list. The statute is public and it is short. Read the whole subchapter here, or read the section numbers back to whoever is on the phone. Working on the same corner of the car?

Truck & SUV Body Parts questions we get asked
Can I patch a rusted bed side instead of replacing it?
A bedside patch panel is a sound repair when the inner wheel house behind it is still solid, and a waste of money when the rust has already gone through to the inner structure.
How much is a replacement tailgate in Dallas?
A bare aftermarket tailgate shell for a common half-ton pickup runs $210 to $420 at our counter, against $680 to $1,600 for the dealer part.
Do fender flares need to be bolted or can they be taped on?
Bolt-through flares last far longer than adhesive-mount ones in this climate, because the tape bond softens in summer heat and the leading edge lifts at highway speed.
