Re: Shucks First Build

The angle strips are spot welded to the sides. If they are not damaged with rust thru, then I would not take them off.

But, it you need to take them off for repairs, then the best way is to use a spot weld cutter on all the spot welds from the outside of the bedside (its easier to body work the few spots on the out side of the bedside then all the spots on the angle strip once you replace it). You should be able to find the spot welds with a light sanding of the paint or using a wire wheel on the area where they are attached.
