I am not sure what caused this dent, it wasnt a roll over as the roof is fine. couldn






t find a patch for a reasonable price so took the stud welder and the hammer pull to it. Came out decent, no more than 1/8" of filler at its deepest

Finally received my colour. Wanted to get between the cab and bed painted first. Some






pinholes to weld up around the back window seal.

The passenger side bedside was a dogs breakfast. I got a great deal on the bed and the floor is solid, wheel wells are dented as it was used for hauling on a farm. I have already changed out the drivers side with all new metal so I think I will just carry on with the body work on this side and get it looking as best as I can knowing I will order a new bedside down the road.

Came across more issues with passenger side while stripping paint pin holes became more prevalent but I had already purchased some patch panels so figured I would get a little more time on the welder. Not my best weld but not my worst! Definitely a lot of daylight coming through the piece I removed.

Got the bed into epoxy primer followed by high build urethane so that i can start blocking and see how much work still needs to be done. Other than the floor pans the interior was basically a scuff and prime.
