My truck did not have this on it when I started the body off resto, so I have no reference for this.

the reason your truck didn't have beading on the step joint is there wasn't any used - got an assembly manual? section 1 sheet 144 shows not any used on the fender to bedside either, just "underbody protective coating [6.5oz] - 1/8 bead entire length of joint"

My truck had been repaited and had a 1/16 or less gap from bed to fender that just looked like a place for rust to collect. what would be normal. I am in the final fitting stage and can make adjustment now before paint. | | |
