The first two photos are too close and I can’t tell where on the truck they are. The third photo shows a rusted rocker. Google the rocker patch panel. They’re all over the Internet.

That’s pretty bad. You definitely need a new rocker. I’ve never seen the cab corners without rust while the rockers have huge holes.

Have you owned the truck since new? Maybe the cab corners have already been replaced. Normally, the cab corners are the first part to go in the super crew trucks.

No it's had two owners, but the maintenance record was and is impeccable! I just had the T/C Phaser's , All Idler pulleys, tensioner pulley,lower steering input shaft replaced, A/C compressor, A/C Dryer and all A/C lines replaced, rear sliding window replaced, and new tires. The inside of the motor was like new! I've never seen a motor with this many miles on it so clean!
bought with 117,000 have 128,000 on it now. I have had it almost 2 yrs, bought it with a Ford warranty LOL all that cost me $200.00 the dedcutable lol

128k is considered low mileage truck for 2008! And i dont think was no rust there 2years ago when you got it. Must have been in very salty state and not washed underneath...

It was just starting when I bought it, Salt and Snow collects there due to the step bars and um ya Detroit, MI. We have the worst roads due to the use of salt. I'm Just trying to determine if this is the rocker panel or cab corners, pictures and descriptions on the internet does not show or state if the rocker panels rolls all the way under. I want to make sure before I purchase them if they are what I need, rocker panel's span from front to back of cab/ door jams.
