But the angle strips on the each side of the bed panel seemed to be welded on. Is that how they are supposed to be? Should I just knock them off or is there a step I am missing  Thanks | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | they're originally welded - if the area is rotten, there are good repros available, if they're good, leave'em be

If you need to remove them, the usual way to do it is to use a small drill bit to drill out the welds. If you try to pry them off, you could rip the metal of the bed side and end up with a lot more work to do. | | |
