Howdy Rick.. No that will be tomorrow..

When we took it off the frame was rusted and scaly.. Decided to replace the rear shocks, clean up the frame and spray with rust converter primer.. Then undercoating before putting the bed on..

Took all day to get that done seeing it gets dark early

Yeah he already got it done... Took about 6 or 7 hours.. After the 4 hours getting the box off..LOL

Tomorrow he will make sure the undercoating is done good enough then we can put the box on and reconnect everything..

Nicolas has a football game so he will get a late start on reassembly
