How to fix body seam?
On my 83 long bed 4WD deluxe there is a horizontal seam on both sides of the bed where 2 panels are welded together. Even here in dry, unhumid Arizona rust comes back through on this inside jont after being painted. There is no rust anywhere else on the truck. Your expertise please. Thank you. Scott

There is no way to stop it completely from everything I've read. Try fringing it down clean both sides and por15 both sides then seal prime and paint. That's what I'd do and will be eventually

May I also suggest trying Permatex Rust Converter to treat the metal and any residual rust after cleaning the metal as well as possible. I applied some of his on exposed metal from wind rash on my truck in 2013 and did not finish with primer nor paint. Yet, rust had not progressed nor come back. This is what I plan to "inject" into the inaccessible recesses of my gutter.
To seal / fill gaps I already have 3M Dynatron 550 seam sealer.
