Oh yeah, I remember those bolt holes. There were the ones for the taillight brackets and the ones that held the bed together, and I think a couple others also.

Let's just say the bed isn't coming apart very easy now. With all the bolts removed, I simply welded all the holes shut while at the same time welding everything together.

I'll get the pictures for the roll pan up soon. It started with a piece of 16 guage sheet metal with a 90 degree bend. The pictures will be well detailed once I get them posted.
