Restoration: 3 Truck Bed Bodywork Questions... (w/ Pictures!)
![]() 1. Where the rear cross sill is rusted it was once "beveled". To what purpose was this? Someone previously has covered with a bed patch this area. What was originally there? ![]() ![]() ![]() I also found a "sticky" gasket material under the wheel housing. What should I use when reassembling? ![]() Thank you for your help!

Zoomy... Thank you! I suspected as much... but ya never know till you ask. Did the factory paint the bottom of the bed to match the truck color?

We had that cross sill along with the other tall ones reproduced, so you can now buy them new.

One of the first places these trucks rust out is between the bed floor and the rear cross member. There is a "pocket" there that captures dirt and moisture. Even my California truck rusted out there. The floor is tack welded to the rear crossmember on just about every rib which makes it a ugly job to replace this crossmember.
