I have a 2002 F150 fx4 and it has 4 rust holes in the bed floor panel. (I am the second owner) I would like to cut a square out and weld in a new section then get it bed lined. I have no idea where I could get this metal. I have looked all over and can't find it. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to where I could get a section of this metal.

Thanks!

 

Scrap yard? Maybe find a wrecked truck and see if you can cut out what you need?

 

I honestly don't think you will be able to match it up perfectly so you may want to just save the time and effort, cut out the rust and then just weld over it with a new piece of metal then do your bedliner

 

either drop in liner or a patch or both

 

Shaun I don't know where you're located or what your budget is, but I just bought my 2009 F150 less than a week ago. While searching for various parts on craigslist I came across several complete beds, 2 of them still had the tailgates, and they were $400 dollars or less. Just this afternoon I was at my local pick n pull and got a part I needed off a 2005 truck and there were about 3 or 4 earlier models that had good beds there as well. I'm new to the truck scene but I know $400 dollars is a good deal. You may want to check your local area and see if that's a route you can go. Good luck.

 

Here's a link to a 2003 black one I found on craigslist. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/5645493655.html
