pass bed side...rusting and from the wheelwell forward was caved in..i beat it out with my fist but even the rail protector is pushed in all the way to the below the moulding. just not worth saving




driver side was run down something previous to my buddy or I owning. moulding pushed in 1/4" and crease all the way to the tail light. AND starting to rust.. My time is worth more..



I am going to repair and repaint the hood. I just cant see spending money to get another in the end..

Here is the coupe de graa... The bed I got from Bill...she is a beauty clark!!! fresh from the soda blaster. Im going to fill the sake pockets and weld up some odd holes in the bed floor and some other clean up.A few dents and other minor issues to smooth out before paint.

Im thinking about deleting the original lower mouldings as well?

Lookin good man! I have some dings that need fixing on mine, and numerous numerous holes in the floor of the bed, none too big, but I never have to worry about it filling up with water haha.

Looks like she's coming along!

Nice man!!! Thats epic!

I still think you're just more picky or critical because you have a background in hotrods lol. That truck of yours was/is way above the average!

Ill take your old bed if you're looking to donate! Always wondered about a red, white, and blue truck! LOL

Looks good Aaron. I love Texas rust free trucks... There isn't much that I hate more than rust.... Probably because I don't do body work. LOL
