Ron thanks,
I have all my new angles and strips with all the hardware which, I also bought at Mar-k. I'm going to take my entire bed (all the parts) to Tulsa Stripper, along with a door and some fenders. I need to make all repairs beforehand ( I also have a few crack to weld up) and I guess I can use some blocks and hamers to help i flattening the sides back so then, he can blast and then prime or I'll have a mess after transporting it all back to Arkansas..
My main concern is what should I do to the metal before rewelding the angles in place?
I have one removed and would like to weld the replacement on before doing the second one..
Like I need to Clean the rust off from behind the old angle and paint a strip before rewelding the new angle over the raw metal??? Thanks for any and all help!
