Hi folks. I have a 2002 XLT 4x4 Super Cab with the short step/flareside bed with a RhinoVinyl spray-in liner that basically trapped water and rusted out the bottom of the bed, especially close to the cab. All of the fiberglass, plastic and other hardware parts are in great shape...it's just the "pan" that's rusted through. Is it possible to just replace the metal portion of the bed with something aftermarket, or am I stuck with paying a junkyard for the entire bed, sides and all? I'm near St. Louis, MO.

Thanks in advance for your comments and advice.

you could look for a damaged stepside bed with a broken bedside... they are fiberglass and replaceable. or you could patch it yourself, use some scrap sheet steel and hand form a patch panel, cut out the rust and weld the patch in, then re-bedline.
