Re: Stepside Bed Paint & Assembly Help

Welding stainless to sheet metal might be a little tricky. If it were mine I would weld steel strips to the sides and then seal the edges to keep water out.

I used sealant and fender welts on my fender to bed joints after everything was painted. Strip caulk would work well also.
