All my past trucks I have done Ziebart under coating and rust proofing at the time of purchase. The local dealer has it done before delivery.

The entire body and bed (including the "...bottom of the cab and bed...") of the truck is aluminum excepting the laminated Quiet Steel sound-absorbing firewall, the cross-door side impact beams, and a few small mounting components.

I will test one with a magnet because an all aluminum bed might be
