Unhappy cracked welds

Any one else here experience the corners of their bed cracking?
Both sides of the cab end of the bed right up at the the very top where the top of the bedside overlaps the top of the front wall of the bed. (I hope that describes it without too much confusion)
I know the fix is just to weld it, and I will once I am ready to have a spray on bedliner installed so I wont have to worry about repainting to match color.

My buddys 95 single cab dually is doing this, he is to cheap to fix it so he just got a ratchet strap and put the tailgate on.

It has happened to most all of my 1992-1996 Ford F-350s, and I have seen it on many more, be very careful how you weld it, its a very strange metal, normal welding warps, dis-colors, and melts it a way. I have tried many different ways to fix mine, it just keeps getting worse every time I mess with it. So be VERY careful when you try to fix it.
