I have a 99 extended cab that has spent its life in NJ and has its share of rust. As part of a repair to fix a bad fuel pump, I decided to pull the bed. When I pulled the plastic factory liner I saw some rust that I need to address. Looking for suggestions here as to how to approach restoring the bed.
The picture shows the worst of the rust by the mounting bolt just behind the cab on the fuel filler side. The other side is more solid. There is a lot of rust by the fuel filler.
I plan on trying to do a good structural repair and put back the factory liner. I like the look and usefulness of it. This truck probably only has a few good years left in it.
