Did you try using flux?

Low-temp Silver solder?

It requires a bit more heat than lead but probably not as much as aluminum rod

Did you try using flux?

Most definitely.

I'll buy some low temp tin-zinc tomorrow.

It being aluminum, it draws the heat away very quickly to the rest of the tubing. I've never tried working with aluminum. But I've seen my dad braze it I think. Low heat torch tip on a propane torch.

The aluminum sticks I bought are actually square tubing so it melts very easy because the walls are so thin. They don't melt with my soldering iron.
I'm going to mess with soldering a couple scrap pieces tomorrow. I may not have cleaned the joint up enough to stick.
I'll buy some tin-silver or tin zinc tomorrow and mess with it.
I'm afraid I may have bit off more than I can chew on this one.
As you can see the bed is all bolted up because I used two part epoxy and then bolted it all together.
The headache rack is what is going to be tough.

I had some thin diamond plate. The thicker stuff I started with was rc4wd I believe. Like twice as thick.

Good lucking truck, I like it with the bed on that.
