problem.
From the looks of things my biggest problem is going to be that the bed
appears to have been galvanized. Its okay I just won't breathe while I'm
welding... ;) (Its a joke kid...)

Use a hole saw to make a nice neat drain hole where the bad spot is. Paint

A. Big hole. With a hole saw (rather than careful cutting) I suspect
I'd have to come out with a 3 diameter hole at least, maybe 4.
B. I'd have to have a slippery static creating bedliner...

'03 and I'm at least the second owner.
The hole is small,

I'm planning to weld in some overly thick sheet steel, 16ga maybe?
Get yourself a square foot of ribbed bed repair metal.
Fits better (making the welding easier) and looks better.
Some friends of mine refloored a Bronco with sheet metal scraps, hammers,
ox-acetylene, and
I'd heard that when welding on newer vehicles you need to
disconnect all the computers so you don't burn them out...
That's safest. But as an EE I believe that if one can

site the current won't go far. The danger, of course, is
