I recently got a 2011 Chevy and I had a part time co-worker show me a way to wash the truck. As anybody who has had a fight with the rust bunnies knows the area above the wheels in back is a prime place for rust to start. It starts between the inner and outer panel and eats its way to the outside.
Looking from underneath the back of the truck there is kind of a opening between these panels. You have to be on your knees and look up and a little forward to see it. Its pretty hard to see. I power washed mine and the water comes pouring out in front of the rear wheels. My truck had been driven on gravel roads and the amount of crap that came out was amazing. Of course all that crap can hold road salt also. My truck is a 2500 but the person that told me about owns a 1500 so I know they are similar. I'm not sure what other trucks have this opening.
