Good luck and pictures are always helpful. I look forward to this thread.

I was thinking that brazing it would be the best call since the sheet metal is so thin. Id rather worry about it being not enought that burning through and turning into a nasty problem from welding, considering the flex issue, based on what ive looked at and tested, it seems to be that most of the left to right rigidity is at the tailgate and front of the bed. But either way, im confident that brazing will not only be cleaner and easier, but cheaper (as i may be able to do it myself if im feeling particularly adventurous) and safer. I dont need a ton of rigitity for this application, because whatever i lose there i can probably make up for with how i mount the box itself. I will have to keep an eye out for cracking and corrosion i think down the road though

I agree, im a little worried that welding something so thin could cause some permanent damage and my understanding is that its a relatively low stress area as it is. Ive heard that in some cases, brazing can actually be stronger
