I am starting work to recover my truck bed - it is not supposed to be a full up restoration, just bring it back to life.
As I was disassembling things, I noticed something. There is a piece of angle that runs along either side of the truck bed. The wood bed pieces fit just under this piece of angle. Along the top edge of this angle, between the angle and the bed side, some sort of old, black "stuff" has been inserted. I don't know if it was some sort of liquid filler or some hind of weather strip material. Was this added by some previous owner, or is there supposed to be filler for rust protection? And at this point in its life, should I seal along this edge?
