Have an 02 that had rust in the same spot until it got hit. New bed had foam in that area where old bed didn't. I guess to help keep grit out of there. Seemed to accumulate on old bed there.

Nope its not just you, I have an 06 250 thats all white and I noticed the entire truck is covered in tiny rust spots last week when I was washing it.Now the starter is also making a clicking noise when I start the truck.Last month it spent 10 days in the shop for front end wobble issues all with 24k miles.God I wish I had my 2000 250sd back.

03 F350 Reg Cab - rust at bottom of tailgate at seam on inside. Rust at bottom of both doors at seam. I will be using Rust Bullet on these spots, hopefully it stops the spread of the rust.

I noticed some bubbling above the rear wheels on my pick up. I was disappointed, but the truck did come out of Wisconsin. I will probably get some fender flares to cover it up...

Get some auto detailing clay. That should take the rust spots out.
