Bed drainage?

[scguy]

Since I've gone SOA, my truck sits decently higher in the rear. After a good rain like yesterday, I can have 2 inches of water in the bed. Obviously, drilling holes seems unavoidable, but how would you recommend sealing the edges of the hole to prevent future rust spreading from that point?

There are drainage holes in the front of the bed already. They may be plugged up with junk, preventing the bed from draining.

🤦‍♂️. And I've owned this truck 6.5 years. Thanks. They're there and plugged with tree debris

Timely post and informative reply.

As a 91 HO owner for a couple months here in Tucson AZ, we are in the middle of our monsoon.

Every Saturday am for the last month I have been using a shop vac to suck out the water.

I am guessing the PO covered/blocked the holes when he applied the bedliner.  

 

This should be in that  master list.

 

Could anyone kindly provide some reference pics of where these are in relation to the bed walls?

TIA

If you look between the cab and bed you can see where the drain holes are, one in the center and two a couple of inches from each bed side.

Yeah their is 3. My 3rd hole is blocked by my spare tire. One is on your left, right and middle of your bed right against the cab at the front lower part of your bed
