    Those are pretty crusty. Replacing with OEM?

    OEM is the best bet, someone on here is redoing theirs with generic poly material

    great thanks, i am also sanding chassis and recoating with woolwax automotive undercoating. which is an automobile-marine rust protector but it does not dry i am finding out.it remains wet and every time i go under the truck to work on it i get a reminder i rust coated it. still have quite a bit to do, am using it for all the high stuff that i cant reach easily. would like to purchase a good rust proof-sealer that will dry for lower body parts, any experience with a good coating? thanks again
