here you go, the pics are kind of crappy cause it is dark and raining. and i got mistaken with the body line cracking, what is actually cracking is down on the bottom right hand side. it was cracked when we primered it but the guy that helped me out just covered the crack with bondo instead of welding it up. so when i get my garage i will weld it and do it right.

you can see where it is cracked in this pic.

This area in the bed twists...
You'll have to weld the section just below the tail light solid.
Do it right or it will just crack the weld.
Scrape out all of the seam filler first.
Once welded, grind it clean, then swipe it with a lil filler and you should be good to go.

you can pick up a wire wheel set from harbor freight (around $5)and use it in a drill to get that seamsealer stuff out. be sure to get it good, or your weld will be really crappy and it could still crack out.

Grind out as much factory sealant from the panels in between. I'm pretty sure there was some in between there. Anyways, you do not have to weld it. But that would be the best alternative if you had a welder! If I were you, you could use short-strand fiberglass body filler!

I use the stuff on every reapir I do when I used body filler. The fiberglass filler can be applied in thicker applications, is ALOT stronger than body filler and will NOT crack.

...just to enlighten you guys!

BTW: Whats in that tarp carport?! Lol, I need one of those SO BAD! I would be having my rig in there!
