Thanks!
With the header panel roughed in I needed to get the bed sides squared to the floor. Easier said than done!! The front 8" of the passenger bed side was twisted inward at the top, right where the stake pockets were. Everything was bent and there were cracks in the corners of the pockets.
I had to cut the corner brace out, ground out the cracks to prep them for welding (gets rid of the fatigued metal), then use the porta-power and a six foot long piece of tubing to have enough leverage to pull the corner back straight.
After rough shaping and welding the cracks.
New corner brace.
