Boxside Wood vs Steel!!

Hey guys on a steel floor fleetside bed how are the boxsides mounted? Are they welded? Bolted just like the wood floor bed? Seam sealed? I just need to know what are different about them from the wood floor fleetside bed! I got a wood bed and I'm looking at some boxsides a guy has for sale but there from a steel bed will they work?
Thanks in advance!

They are bolted along the side, wheel house and bed front. The rear of the bedside is spot welded to the bed bottom. No sealer. WES

Correct. However, i believe the front panel is different if that matters.
