Looks like you made the right choice! That thing is going to be like a new truck.

 

Drop in liners are bad, m'kay...



Whole front of the bed up against the cab is rusted out too. Had to cut the heads off of all 8 bed bolts cause the heads were so rusted I couldn't get a torx bit in them. Old bed comes off tonight.

 

I saw the 98 he's buying when I was down there last month - he's gonna sell the red truck and use the 98 for a daily driver instead of Fiddy. It's a V-6 with a stick and he can get it dirt cheap, it's hydrolocked and he can get an engine cheap.

 

The sad thing is yours is in better shape then mine How much did you pick that new bed up for?

I tell you what, the truck sure is easier to back up when it looks like this...



I paid $500 for a damn near perfect bed (had 3 small dings) with the tailgate. And it already had a spray-in bedliner. Yeah, I got a steal on it... I'm going to send you a PM... I found a guy selling an 8' bed in NC for like $600.

 

Thanks man and I thought I was the only one with the bed rusted out that bad every time I hit a bump I am worried iam gonna lose the bed lol it shakes like crazy behind the cab

 

Nick, you sure that's not what you are hearing when you hit the clutch?

 

you know i never thought of that you may be on to something there

 

nows your chance to clean up that frame .

 

Just did that today... wire wheeled the whole thing, primed, then hit the frame with undercoating and anything moves with black paint.

 

About freakin time. Now you'll need to get the front half of the truck painted to match the new.

 

If you pay for it, I can get it done right now...

 

The new bed is getting its final coat of clear tomorrow, so it should be ready to go Thursday evening. I'll have it on then or Friday... I can't wait.

 

Still needs a wet sand and buff, then it's all back together.
