Re: how do bed angle strips attach?
I used 1/4 inch stainless phillips screws when I replaced my side strips recently. I chose to use screws instead of welding because I thought it would be batter for rust prevention. I sprayed bed liner on the sides before attaching the side strips. Even if you use weld-through primer you will have some bare metal between the strip and bed side after welding them. You can space the screws so that all of the nuts are under the fender and the bed corner posts and don't show, but you will loose about 3/8ths of an inch clearance between the tire and bed sides. If your tires are very close to the bed sides it could be a problem.
