An old F100 from 67-72 can take more of a beating than a modern Aluminium F150 can.

Why would you not fold the seat up and place everything on the floor? Or use the bed to carry the pump? I mean that’s what it was designed for. I had an 04 F150 front window changed. When they removed it half the window frame came out with it. Before hand it looked perfectly fine, but It was rusted beyond belief. I’m good with keeping my aluminum body. I’ll just be mindful of what should go in the cab and what goes in the bed.

I like how the back of your truck is completely cluttered up and then on top of that you stick a 20-pound pump just sitting on top of all that stuff in your seat. If you were in a wreck that pump can hit you in the head and kill you. My suggestion to you is if it's a work truck why don't you have some kind of tool box with on-board storage box that you can put this stuff into so that it's not a loose projectile in your cab. You're more worried about an aluminum body than you are your own body...

got a new 2017 in november and mounted a welding machine in back up against front of box and now there is a hole being chaffed between steel on the welder and the alum box . lucky i saw it before it perforated and is kinds easy to repair now

You are saving fuel economy , several hundred pounds also help Performance. I haven’t really heard of anyone having trouble with the aluminum body. I just love how Chevy has bashed Ford , and now they are adding aluminum to the hood , doors , and tailgate . It’s the future , all of them at some point are following with aluminum at least on parts

I own Chevy trucks , I like to sit on the river bank on a quiet night and listen to my truck RUST.

My initial thought was that I would never have placed that pump on top of the stack - but instead on the floorboard. That much weight up that high and unsecured - it's going to move every time you accelerate, brake, or take a sharp turn. Or it will slide over against the rear cab door and fall out (breaking your foot) when you open the door.

Who cares it's never going to rust.

would rather that small hole then rotted cab corners and rockers. go get a chevy! in a few years you can put your fingers through the body.. aluminum bodies is the best thing that ever happened to pickups, and chevy/dodge will follow suit soon.
-
Should of folded up the back seats and stored that crap on the ground
-
My 2011 gmc sierra is completely rotten outside and worse underneath after 10 years. had to stop driving it due to frame rot.
-
Chevy just switched to aluminum
-
these trucks and no truck is made to drop a 20lb pump with a sharp object attached to the pump..since u dnt pay for it and u dnt. care about it sums up that u dnt take care of it..
-
Everyone doesn't realize that in 5 years most trucks will be aluminum. Most trucks will be getting rid of the V8 as well, or at least giving lower displacement options
-
Shit now you got me thinking 🤔 twice about the Ford F-350
-
u can fix it with duct tape.lol😂😂
-
I wouldn't buy it with those crazy sideways U shaped headlights on it if for no other reason. And how much plastic is in it, besides?
-
Amen brother. The switch to aluminum was a big mistake. Not much material to fix it, and it warps when heated with a sander
-
Wow that is a hole
-
I have to agree. Still trying to get a third party auto collision to repair a salvage title 2016 F-150 with left rear rocker panel, cab damage and left rear bed bent in below the fuel fill. Insurance company wrote it off. See "BlueCollarKyle" channel his aluminum repairs look promising. Gonna take while for everyone to get up to speed on these type of repairs.
