I bought a new rust free bed from a pick n pull but the front panel was removed. Bed was off of a 82 and i’m putting it on my 75. i found the panel online for about $80, is it as simple as bolting it to the bed? or is there any welding or sealing needed to be done.

Find what thread they are and get the right length.
Factory bolts were tapered on the end going into the attached nuts.
Look like maybe 3/8-16?
