The seam is seperated and it looks like at had some kind of metel bond adhesive. What caused it? is this serious? How to fix it? weld it? re adhere it?

All comments positive or negative welcome

Nice truck, love the patina. I believe they used seam sealer on that seam. Not sure if it was just spot welded from the factory or not.

Re: While installing My B-Day Presents

that area is just spot welded from the factory, and has seam sealer all the way across. i'd wire brush it out, put some new seam sealer in there, then put the mat back down and go.

Re: While installing My B-Day Presents

Looks like some good birthday gifts if I do say so myself.

Side note... bring your truck to the Midwest All Truck Nat's in Riverside, MO (N KC) on Sept 11-13). We are going to have a large turnout of board members to the show, and last year they had 350+ participants. Check out the Missouri section for more info, or shoot me a pm.

Good luck with the rest of the truck!
