Cross Braces

My 2008 F250 has 75000 miles...and is rotting away as it sits there.

The cross braces under the bed are going away. Dorman makes a replacement kit #924 256. Has anyone used that kit and what were your results...?

But the really scary and sad part is, you should see the engine block. Huge flakes of rust, looks like a large flaky apple turnover. Yes, I live in greater Boston north where it snows and calcium chloride is used on the roads, but my other 3 vehicles go through the same stuff and they aren't disintegrating like the truck.

Ford, you should be ashamed of yourself on this one...no excuse for this truck falling apart as bad as it is.
