What year is your truck? Most parts suppliers have lower fender patch panels that you can weld on. If you have never done body work before you might want someone to help you do it. On my truck a lower rear panel was around $35-$40 vs. replacing the fender for $350

It depends on how much a new part is and how much it would cost to repair the old one. Almost anything can be repaired, but the question is, is it worth it?

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
