[QUOTE="superpsd, post: 1125083, member: 15821"] Well the grade Ford is using is a 6000 grade aluminum which has great corrosion resistance. I think it will be fine with advancements in paint technology. We don't use salt out west so they should live long life's here. Even back in the 40-60s they had built several semi tractors almost completely out of aluminum or aluminum frames. Including Autocar, Freightliner, Mack... 700 lbs or so dropped from a superduty is a nice chunck of mass that will no longer be holding the truck back from higher fuel economy and acceleration.
