Well I am going to keep it, my plan is to pull the bed and clean things up, maybe even rewire the back end. And Am going to use some Herculiner and do it myself. Contrary to some beliefs I have a lot of money into this to just give it away. I have had some offers for it, but not what I wanted and certainly higher than than a previous post says its worth.

Highboy I read that one of the cons to the do it yourself liners is its a thin layer, did you only put down one layer or two? if you put down two did you wait until its dry or tacky?

thanks for the input.

I think its a good idea to keep it, you have a lot of time and money into it, and you will never get that money back out of it, I think $6000 is not bad, but like someone else said, it all depends on the area, you might get that much here where I am because you just can not find stuff like this here (Upstate NY) check out the site in my sig, there may be someone there interested? good luck ..Rick (Salt-Man)

I did the herculiner on my old Dodge. Followed all the prep and it scraped off on one part, but the rest held up pretty well. But on my truck now I just did por15 and put a mat down so it doesn't get all scratched up. When I wash the truck I remove the mat wash the bed and mat and wait till it dries to lay the mat back in. Works pretty well for me because I do not want to spend hundreds of dollars lining my bed either.

(Nice try at 2 digs, however, I don't sell unsolved problems, and FYI, I replaced all the u-joints and rebuilt the CV-joint, vibration gone.)
Point being I suppose I'm not the only one who has issues with the selling of a truck. And after reading some of your other posts I would be surprised if I didn't get any more input.

I'm Done Thank You For your input
Headers are a personal choice, and depend on the mods done and what is trying to be accomplished, and yes stock mans. are ok and will work just dandy.

Was not trying to DIG (Funny how a person can take text the wrong way huh? guess I'm not the only sensitive one) stateing an opinion such as your self about price. And as far as the 77 just asking if you fixed i,t simple as that. I apologize if you if you took either one of those the wrong way.
