UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1999 FORD F450 CREW CAB WITH A DUMP BODY. IN THE SUMMER OF 2001 I NOTICED THE PAINT WAS PEALING FROM THE BACK CHASIS. I DID BIRING IT UP TO A FORD SERVICE MANAGER BACK IN AUGUST OF 2002 WHEN I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. HE HAD SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO LAY THE TRUCK UP FOR A WHILE BRING IT IN OR CALL THE DEALER WHERE YOUR PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. SO NOW IT IS MY SLOW TIME JAN 2003 AND I CALLED MEADOLAND FORD TRUCK SALES WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THEY SAY THE TRUCK IS NOT COVERD. BARE METAL RUST IS NOT COVERED?
