Hello all, quick sheet metal question. My '82 4wd project has a rusted right inner fender/battery tray. I was thinking the easiest way to repair this would be to find a donor in a wrecking yard and section it in. Are there any differences between years and/or 2 or 4wd? If anyone has any other ideas about the best way to fix this please chime in as well.
Thanks,
Marc

 

used is probably your best bet , as it will be your cheapest .
battery treys are real common for rusting .
2WD and 4WD are interchangeable on these , but there are a few holes that are different , and the front body mount for the 2wd is also on the inner apron , but the inner apron can still be used .

for another option , we make the inner apron and battery trey in FRP .
our FRP is chemical resistant , so even battery acid wont hurt it .
this would be a more expensive option though , you can see the products here
