If only everyone had something as nearly awesome as a raptor then there would be no need for plows and road salt

I used to live in the Pittsburgh area back in the seventies. Trucks only lasted a bout 3 years before they rusted. PA used a lot of salt back then. I am sure they still do.

Well the really bad news, In addition to no help from Ford, is that these trucks are so new that nobody is making replacement rocker panels for them yet. I have done a couple hour search on the web and come up with nothing.
I sent an email to one company asking about when they will start producing them but no reply yet.
It seem that the first company out there that starts making replacements will have the market to themselves for a little while.
I may try the dealership where I purchased the truck but I don't go there much since it is about 40 miles from me. not the most convenient . but they gave me the best deal of any around at the time.

@FordService can you help with this?

A member on the other forum had his rockers replaced under warranty by Ford for rust issues. He lives in Canada. So someone must make replacements.

By the way. I'm from the Pittsburgh area as well. First thing I did when I purchased my truck was to rust proof it with a good under coating. I lost my first truck to rust that the dealer wouldn't cover due to "living in a harsh environment" add if it was my choice to subject the truck to salty roads. Lol....
