Body Rot Repair cab and bed

[we287gn]

Hello All.. so I am just wondering if anyone here has gone through the trouble of saving their Gen10 F150 body? My truck is hurting both on the cab bottoms(rocker area) and bed rails. but the external bed sheetmetal is fine...
Is there any manf out there making those cross members?
I see LMC has some sheetmetal...
Thanks a bunch ..its too bad , the truck runs fine other wise and has a low mileage drive train..

I don't have a solution but maybe the next guy will. I was more curious where you're located. Is it road salt related?

I would guess salt Massachusetts is bad for salt damage.

Thanks Smokey , seems to be the same stuff LMC has. I was hoping to find the bed cross members..Might just have to get creative..

salt is the enemy! I wash my truck daily if they have salted the roads. may have a little OCD though
