should these body panels be welded? (1 Viewer)

I'm starting a new project and wondering if these body panels should be welded. One of the previous owners welded the rear sill to the rear corners so i'm suspicious these also shouldn't be welded.

That looks "rightish" to me. If you want to see what it looks liek new, check out Topnault's photos.

That looks a lot like mine did when I tore it down to repair the rust damage, it does look like those welds have been flexed a little though!

That weld at the bottom of the quarter panel/rocker panel is a minor detail missed by a lot of restorers.
It should be there if you're trying for the truck to be as accurate as possible.
That said, if the truck is just going to be a trail thrasher it doesn't matter too terribly much.
