bed seam rust?

I know the east coast was know for bed seam rust, at the area you
talk about ..Best bet is to remove the rust with a sand blaster
and then caulk it shut with some auto body caulk not household
caulk

I sandblasted my bed seam then fiberglassed it so it matched the body line in the cab and front quarter. It looks great and it wont see any water ever again. But i was in the process of painting my truck at the time.
