Here is the view of the back side of a FC-150 Pickup gas tank. You can see the corrosion at the bottom were dirt was trapped between the tank and the bed.

You can see the area where the gas tank and the bed trapped dirt and moisture. This is typical for this type of vehicle.

With the rear fender removed you can see another cancer spot on the FC-150 beds. Anywhere where there is metal to metal contact you can usually expect these results.

Another angle.

Here the bed is being removed from the frame and put on a trailer.

The rear of the frame is now exposed.

Here’s a shot of the bed flipped over to inspect for damage.

Gas tank mounting area.

This is the rear mounting area of the bed. This area can be damaged from rust and exposure to impacts from loading over the years. An easy fix to get back into shape.

Rear bed mount to the frame.

The spare tire tub area. Slight damage can be found here but usually it is in decent shape.

Fenderwell area of the bed. This area must be addressed or metal failure will surely follow.

Broken weld and cracked crossmembers can also be found on your trucks bed. Remember, these are 50+ year old vehicles and these type of "War Wounds" are to be expected.

Another view of the broken cross member.

More bent metal and rust that should be dealt with before reinstalling the bed.

With the bed removed it always is much easier to get to the inner workings of the truck.
