stepside fender gaskets?

[1969stepside]

are there any gaskets or anything that i put between the bedsides and the stepside fenders? should i make some or do they just bolt directly to the side of the bed without anything? i ask this because the lip is where the stepside fender rusts out

They came factory with a strip caulk. 3M makes a black strip caulk that works well.

Good luck, Rg

Earlier models - till 59 I think - used welting. I plan to use it on my 70 when I restore it, seems less messy and probably more forgiving for a klutz like me.

That's what I used on my truck, as well.

Strip caulk the 3m black is what I used too . Hint to apply it is to let it sit in the sun to soften it . It will then flatten out much easier and also easier to use a plastic scraper to remove excess.
