Pulled the bed tonight to fix the front panel. Wasnt enough room to do an acceptable job otherwise. Got it straightish, ground off the ripped out spot welds, killed the rust. Will weld it up tomorrow after rust killer is dry.
It boggles my mind how clean southern trucks are overall.
Hopefully get the bed back on tomorrow and do the first coat of herculiner. Oh, gotta paint the rear bumper too. Pisses me off, I must have used the can of paint I was looking for on something else; no "trim gray" around - gotta get one. Then a buff job and interior detail are about all that's needed for a sign in the window.
I hosed and scrubbed it Sunday and it looks MUCH better without the black flecks.
Still can't upload attachments from ttak. Must remember to look at that.
