Gary, I now agree with you.  Rust IS worse than spot welds. >:(

I would POR 15 then seam seal. I used a few different types or seam sealer. The first was in a tube and made by 3M. It was water based and easy to smooth out. I used it on the exterior seams that you could see. I don't think I would use this type again because it is already getting rust back in the seam after only a few years. The second type I used is a polyurethane in a regular caulking tube. It's made for raid gutters and stuff like that. It hardens like rubber and tough as heck. Kinda messy to put on but is holding up well. I only used it on the seams you can't see, like floor and bed. The third kind is made by POR 15 and called POR patch. Comes in a small tube and smooths out well. I used it on my hard top seams before I coated it with the bed liner and it is holding up well. It is expensive and only comes in a small tube so I only used it on the seams you could see.

That is what I was thinking.  Did not make sense to me to put sealer on new unprotected metal.  I would think that is just asking for trouble.

Here is mine...I fabricated the floors myself with 18 ga metal.  Used same for patches for rust spots.  This whole 'joint' was broke loose and the tub sagged about 2 inches - so I leveled off to frame then lined up and measured while supporting with a floor jack.  So far all seems to line up great with the door on the truck.  I will have to shim the doors slightly about 1/8th inch or so...this door also was one that I replaced the outer skin on as well.

Nice work.  Thanks for the pictures.  That is almost identical to the problem on mine.
