Seriously what is this box for in the driver side rear corner just below the tail light? I can't figure out what's in it. Can't get to it from the tail light recess. Ford generally doesn't produce something like this for nothing and it's not the same on the passenger side.
There is a formed sheet of like 1/8-3/16" black plastic visible in the hole and some expanding foam that appears to have been used as an adhesive for the plastic to metal.
While doing the fuel pump last weekend I realized this rust was back and worse. So I started investigating and found it was pretty rotten. I removed all I could tear off and drenched it with acid, let it dry and covered it with 2 layers of foil tape as a temp repair to hopefully keep water out.
I was planning to cut it out and replace it this coming weekend, but with 8-12" of snow now expected I'm not gonna want to be outside working on the truck. Not to mention this is the first real snow since my son started driving so it's time to teach him how to drive in snow. There's nothing quite like a RWD Ranger for learning to drive in the snow .
