Seam filler?
The seams on the bedside (fleetside)above the ridge had a little rust, and in order to get it under control, I dug out all the filler in the seams. Now that the rust is "killed", what works best to fill the seams back up?

Re: Seam filler?
Some say that you really must sandblast the seam to properly prepare it. I dug mine out best I could and spent a couple of hours with a drill motor and wire brush wheel and a grinder and wire brush to get all the rust out. Then I just primed it and caulked it with "seam sealer" from an auto paint store. I used 3M All-Around Autobody Sealant, part number 08500. You put it on with a caulking gun and wipe off the excess with a wet finger. There's a few photos of my seams at:
