Request

Are there sectioning procedures available for the uniside reinforcements?

Response

Ford does not have sectioning procedures for the uniside reinforcements.

Per the 2013 Ford F-150 Workshop manual: “Sectioning procedures can only be carried out on the outer body side panel. No sectioning repairs can be carried out on inner reinforcement panels. Failure to follow these instructions may compromise structural integrity of the cab structure.”
