My big this with these beds is the seam down the side. Most all of them have corrosion in that seam. My plan would be to clean that up, and then weld that dam seam closed.

This truck had a slide in camper and the inside of the bed is almost perfect. I don't think there is even a dent on the outside! And damn sure minimal rust...

Yeah, I know how that works! Still, she wouldn't be very happy with me. But, maybe I can work something out.

Mornin' all........
Thanks, Charlie!...........I still think I could yank the motor in my old Ranger faster than I could dig that valve cover out, I might have missed it, do you have to pull the upper intake manifold?

As much as it leaks (which is very little) this is gonna be a back burner, the only reason I even ask is that the wife says she occasionally smells it when a drop gets on the exhaust manifold, it never leaks a drop on the shop floor though.
