Re: Bed/tailgate finish questions

Thanks Mr48. Now to make some round patches.

The "bed roll" I was talking about is the roll at the top of the bed. Where the bed pocket runs up the outside of the bedside and it spot welded on, at the top it stops short of the bed roll. This is where he was suggesting I weld up the gap.

The other "seam" is on the outside of the tailgate. Where they rolled the steel over and spot welded it back to itself to make the roll for the hinges or at the top for the rounded top. He was suggesting I weld those two seams solid.
