I'm new to stovebolt, but I have had several 60 series trucks personally my favorite of all the chevy trucks, Now for my question I have finally decided to do a ground up on my newest venture a 65 C- 10 and have already ran into a problem. How the heck do I remove the taillight panel so I can replace them along with some patch panels on the bed.i cannot see where they are welded.Any ideas would be helpful

The end cap of the fleetside bed panel is "blind" spot-welded, to the bed side. The end cap is not being reproduced, but reattaching it, the same as it was done from the factory, is nearly impossible, without the same equipment, used during the original installation.

Most of the suppliers are selling them, however they fail to explain the installation process. Although they can be welded to the bed side, this creates an issue with losing the factory seam (if it is wanted) and running the risk of damaging the bed side, if the original end cap is not removed properly & carefully.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
