Bed Rust Repair?
The only rust on my '68 is along the outside seam of the bed, front to rear, both sides (see pics in gallery). I know I need to get in there with a wire brush wheel or flexible grinder attachment, but then what? Are there any chemicals or sealers that will prevent the rust from returning?
Thanks.

There is supposed to be a line of body joint sealer in the crevice. Usually when these trucks get repainted, cheaper companies "forget" to re-do the sealer. On my 70, I'm going to sandblast the area, re-apply the sealer, and then paint over it.
