Also look for discoloration to the metal rocker panels just above the plastic body cladding that is mounted inferior to the door. And finally, as u mentioned, the inside bottom of the tailgate. That plastic body cladding that they wrap around the sport trac hides a lot of sin for many years….till it’s too late. As mentioned by Dillard, check the underside/inside walls of the rocker panels from under the truck. If there is rust holes there that hasn’t migrated to the painted exterior, fix it or run!! I have a gen1, and I want to find another gen1….and those are the 4 places I look immediately.</blockquote>
