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
