frame Welt installation for flatbed truck

Post by s147881 »

Does the frame welt that goes under the fenders and the cab go all the way to the end of the rear frame? I have a flat bed and was wondering if the frame welt is installed under the wood sills. Is the original one continous piece from the front to the back?

The frame welt is an anti-squeak between the frame and fenders/aprons. It terminates where the apron leaves the frame. Note in the picture that I put frame welt on the body bracket to insure the bracket is level with the frame. I also put the weld on the hood clip bracket.

The cargo body does not have frame welt originally.
