Just a note for anyone wanting to weld up bedsides. I did have some warpage. It was for about 3 inches on all cuts where the flattest part of bed side is. So if I had to do this again I would only weld about 1" long at a time and then move to other side of bed. Instead of welding for three inches at a time in the same spot. I will post some pictures tomorrow and maybe get some advice on how to straighten it.
