Here's what i've got so far. All the small holes and stake pockets have patches welded in and bondo applied. A quick thin spray of etching primer is to protect it until the bed gets painted. The top rails aren't perfectly smooth because i'm going to cover the top smooth rails with Herculiner.
The zinc tie downs i got from Atwoods for $3/each. I've got one welded into each corner and will get a couple more to put in the middle of both bedsides also. They are rated for 5000lbs. Overkill for anything i will tie down in the bed but they look beefy and the welded in base plates will also be coated with Herculiner.
