The rear bumper may be a gypo, and someone needs to take a course in Plug Wire Routing 101. Where are the two types of wire retainers Fords use?


No see um undercarriage pictures. The truck is in road salt infested Ohio, not dry Nevada.

Both

What colour do you see under the chips? Looks like blue to me. Why would Ford use gloss blue primer, then paint it red?

Bottom line = bed replaced.
