Really, the toughest part of the job is the removal of the rusted bed support rails, grinding and drilling each spot weld....

My F250 was similar. The bed was held on by 2 1/2 bolts. Ended up having a military trailer installed as a bed. Kept it for a year, then sold it. It was an '06 that lived a harsh life in Maine before I bought it.

But yeah, salt will kill a perfectly good truck in 10 years.

Bed repairs complete and she's ready for another 10 years of service! State inspection set up for Wednesday! She got a new exhaust and rear shocks while the bed was off. Toughest part, was removing the old rotted rails, the rest was downhill! My doogies are excited to go for the bye bye ride!!!!

Looks nice, but gotta ask.

Why State Inspection? Did it fail a safety test before?

When you live in the South a 2007 F250 is still in one piece. I wonder how much the cars are worth that they throw away every year due to salt damage.

Boneyards are full of 10 year old rotted out cars up north. I'm surprised every time go up there. Lots of parts cars so find tons of good parts cheap except for body parts.
It's surprising how many newer cars are still rotted out with all the paint and corrosion prevention there is.
Sil/Bil get new cars every 4 or 5 years max and they're already rusting out.
Thankfully I live in the South.

Discovering a non corrosive non hazardous alternative to salt would be worth billions.

'90? I have a '65 Pontiac that has no rust on it and still looks almost brand new. Original brake and fuel lines/tank, body mounts, etc. Never been out of service or not registered/driving in 57 years....
