Limeyjeeper Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Weird choice. Better fitting floor pans and braces would have been a higher priority I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Inner and outer rockers meet at the pinch weld. Don’t know I’ve ever seen one rust out without both going at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd product to bring to market ahead of other items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to say that it makes me so happy that you paint everything before putting it back together to prevent rust in the future. You see a lot of people that don't do that (more so on Facebook than on here) and I love to see people doing the job the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 3m panel bond which needs clean metal but everywhere that didn’t get panel bonder got epoxied and/or POR15’d. The factory pinch welds and seam sealers were a terrible design in certain areas imo. The water gets trapped in the seam and slowly starts the oxidation process. The rockers, floors, rear cab bulkhead and bed wheel arches are great examples of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on pinch welds and seam sealer. And it's so hard to find until its wrecked the panel. Butt welding > Lap welding in most situations.

87MJTIM Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 What about the rear bed corners that we were teased with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
