Call your dealer on new panels. Also consider finding an older/junkyard bed with a good floor and cutting that out. If the rib pattern is the same, you could even use an older pre-Super Duty Ford bed for this.

Not that of an unusual situation with a plastic bed liner. The plastic tub moves around wearing off the paint and the panels rust fast. When we had to get used pickups for test trucks we found this situation often.
If you put on another bed and still want to use the liner, check out one of the albums I have in my facebook page noted below. By putting a cushion between the liner and metal you can prevent this from happening.
