I have a 91 Suburban that has alot of rust in the rear wheelhouses (rear inner fenders). Does anyone know where I can get replacement sheet metal for them? I can find just about every piece of sheet metal for the suburban except for the rear wheelhouse. If these parts don't exist, what is the best way to repair this area? The seam where the outer wheelarch meets the inner wheelhouse is rusted through along the entire seam.
 
Suppose you could cut them out of a burb at the junkyard and weld them in. Any pics of the rust spots?

I had rust on the outer edges of my wheel wells that went through to the inside. I cut it out and had tube welded in. Pretty strong now.

GM doesn't make them anymore. I think I bought the last two in the world, though I haven't used them yet. I don't think LMC Truck offers them. There must be a few un-rusted donor burbs in your neck of the woods.
