better (or more) welds would have held that on much better. its clean broke off man....
what bed are you putting back on? another ext cab bed or going the long bed route?
yeah ill admit the bed is rusty as hell underneath and when i was welding it it kept burning through and i couldnt get it to do right so the heat was down on that side. i plated the driver side and it held alot better. i did just tack it on. the new bed is another 4x4 xcab bed. to hell with all that long bed noise i cant see doing that. i am gonna test fit my old 2wd bed sides and see if they will fit around the new wheels. i may go back to it.
