I've got a set of stepside bedsides in need of a little repair work. I got them off a truck that had been rolled, but the bed was still decent. Only the passenger side needs repair. it has a few cracks near the front.
Would it be ok to drill out the ends of the cracks, to keep them from growing, and then just use your basic fiberglass repair kit? Or is the fiberglass they're made out of wierd stuff that the resin wont bond to? I've repaired a few snowmobile cowls before, and I know the newer hoods (90's anyways) are made out of a wierd fiberglass/plastic composite stuff that the resin in a fiberglass repair kit doesn't like to bond with. What do you think?
