I've recently acquired my first truck; a '66 C20. I've been learning a lot here but I'm wondering what causes the rust patches I've seen on so many front fenders (lower edge behind wheel)? Is there a design flaw? More important, after repairing the rust, what can be done to prevent recurrence while still keeping the truck looking original?
