In prepping the bed i started looking at it closer and I realized there’s really no type of a drain hole for water runoff in the bed on these trucks. Probably why my front panel was rusted out. With the bed slanting towards the cab the water would collect up against the front panel, seep thru and sit on the front rail. Has anyone done any type of a modification to that rail or some other way. I know there is a suggestion to notch the wood rails every so often. But I would think the bulk of the water would still run towards the front. Thanks.
