    OP, trucks are made of metal, exposed to all kinds of materials that corrode when met with air, varying temperature and moisture. It'll be fine, pick yourself up a bottle of iron-x, and fluid film your truck 1-2 times a year to slow the process.

    Thread cleaned up. If your post was removed, and you didn't get a warning, don't feel too comfortable. You might now be on a watch list. If you DID get a warning, you ARE being watched, and this is likely the last warning you get. :)

    Thread tap to clean the rusty shit out and then anti-seize it. It doesn't have as much of the greasy film carrier leaving that wet spot look as the oils wick away.

    Just above the 4 dots I marked are some screws, you take them off, mount the bed rail then screw them back on
