I bought my 2000 7.3 in Januray, 2016 from Texas, and I knew I'd eventually have to deal with the worn liner, which turned out to be 3 liners, and likely a little rust. I recently decided to get on it since I'm getting a Leer shell soon for track event storage. Removed the Roll N Lock cover, got as much of the liner off that wanted to come up, scraped, wire brushed, rust converted, wiped it all down with xylene, and then applied Rustoleum Professional Grade with a roller and brush. I like the way it feels and looks now, but haven't tested it yet. It'll get some use in a couple of weeks.

 

That's a mighty fine looking job. Looks line ya done good.

 

Thanks. It took a good bit of time to clean up. I'm happy with the outcome.
