bodyline seam rust

Post by p1ckle »

Is there any way to control the rust along the seam that goes down the side of the bed on the bumpside pickups? Can it be clear coated over depending on how bad the rust is?

You can use a small dremel 1" wire brush to get in there to help remove the rust in the seam. The rust is usually worse than what you see as this is where the two bed seams are tack welded together. I would try to get as much of that rust out as possible and then put some POR-15 in there to stop the spread of the rust. They have some seam sealer at Eastwood products for the bed seam. Here is a thread that talks about the bed seam rust and seam sealer: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... f=7&t=6605
