Trucks now at Dad's body shop getting pretty again. Tired of the tan.
everything stripped down but the bumper, because it was crook-ed. After cutting the positioning plates' welds, I was able to get it repositioned and square.
Gutted the interior again except the dash. Just going to mask off the windows and dash and get spray happy with some chassis black
Then I marked up the rear of the bed, because I want the functionality of a full length bed, but still need to do something with protecting it, so sliders and a bumper will be built.
dug out the original tailgate since the gold one was rusty and just as beat up, added a skim coat of filler to help smooth out the rolled edges on the rear bedside, and went to work with a DA
Took the bed loose so I can fix the wiring to the fuel pump, and put some rust inhibitor on the bottom of the bed, and this is where I finished up. All the dents and body work is pretty much finished, just need to do some primer and blocking, then she is ready for some yellow and black
edit: and I need a new driver door :/
