All Done

Here is the bed
Before:and after bolting in the wood.

Took the week off

I took the week off, and played with my Jeep instead of working on the Truck.
Just FYI, You really need to get EVERY BIT of rust off of your old vehicle! Most people just slap some bondo on top of the rust, and then sell the car! This type of repair will only last one or two years tops, while rust builds up and gets worse under the bondo. It is VERY difficult to remove rusty metal, weld in new metal, and sand off every bit of rust. But if you love your old truck, and plan on kepping it for a while, it will last 10 or 15 years instead of 1 or 2 years.


DON'T SAND YOUR FINGERS OFF WITH
THIS THING! IT HURTS!

Almost Done

Putting it back together.
I made a crane by stringing a rope up in the tree, tying it to a comealong, and rigging a 4 point on each corner of the bed. I picked up the bed with it so I could set it on the frame without scratching it.Here's A little walk around. All I need to do, is the exhaust and the rest of the wood in the bed!
