tell me about it, mine are rotted in almost all corners on the box, i know i need the two rears because they are non-repairable, and i can do the fronts of the box myself, i need to get the caps for the rocker panels under the cab, i need to vacuum them out, then sandblast vacuum again, then spray some bed liner in it, then cap, and re-line the bottom of the cab.
