On my 59 with a similar seam, I laid the bedside on sawhorses and after removing existing rust I drizzled Rustoleum red primer into the seam coat after coat until it quit seeping into the seam. Then sanded it smooth and followed up with epoxy and paint as described above. So far so good on the rust. I felt that if rust reoccurs it will come from the inside of the bed and it would be important to seal deep into the seam. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 25 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 25 | Thanks for the reply back guys. Its been awhile that I have been on here as I have been going to the doctor for Vein work and I can't do a darn thing just yet. If anyone has vein problems get it done as soon as possible because I waited just way to long.
Thanks again guys as I knew you would come through as always
