Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I just found Stovebolt.com the day before yesterday and have been on it dang near ever since! I love it. I always knew there was a place like it somewhere in cyberspace...just didn't know where.
I'm Jim from Tennessee. Just a good ole boy working on a truck he's wanted for 43 years.
My first question is about the rearmost fender brace on the stepside bed. One end obviously attaches to the fender...but what about the other end? My bed was sitting in a field and rusted up to the bed curls so I didn't get to see what it was attached to when I took it apart. That was a few years ago, and it's all sandblasted, welded, and primed now. I have the brace, and it doesn't look deformed...but it doesn't seem to want to fit anywhere just right either. My guess is that it goes on the end of the bed cross-sill???
My second question is, should I put any kind of seam sealer between the bed sides and the fenders/steps?
My third question is how in the world do you paint the underside of the curl and the top of the fender with good results?
Thanks in advance to any and all who may answer these questions! A GREAT site!!!
Jim
