bedside pulling apart

has anyone ever seen a bedside pull away from the tailgate latch.... if so is it as simple as pulling it back it and strengthening it up??? or how did you fix it....

Ya. I'll get a few. I tried tonight but ran out of light. And its not actually commin apart at a seam... The hole side has pulled away from the tailgate there's no rust or spot welds broken. There is a cupple cracks in the bottom of the bed. But its not rust. I'll get some pics up. That will help explain. Thanks
