Got my bed back from the media blaster today. I am happy with it. It has a few small dings and dents from where my uncle used the truck. Seeing how they are small I am going to leave them, they add character and he put them there. Its kinda like I am preserving part of him. I also started striping the cab today.

byrdman im digging the radioflyer! brings back when i was a kid and would put any toy tractor i could find in it, also the hot rod part of it. RatFink t-handles and marker plate(wrench). good stuff!, let alone those old ford wrenches are when cars had good tool kits.

Thanks guys! I have been sanding on it for the past couple of days. I am gonna take a break from it tomorrow.  I work a 24 starting tomorrow so I will be back on it Tuesday. Probably start body work on the bed so I can get it primered.

Talked to a local man today who said he can cut me some local white oak for my bed. He is going to plane it and router the edges for the strips. Its gonna save me some money, so I'm excited about that

Got the body work on the bed almost buttoned up today. I am gonna finish it tomorrow and shave the mirrors. I took the front bed panel off today and shaved the ends. It looks alot better.

hobarts a good welder, its a miller minus the blue and the price

[69byrd]

Its a great welder. My father in law bought it for me before he passed away and I have used it a lot with no complaints. I got the body work on the bed done and got the power mirrors shaved. I also got the brackets for the sport mirrors. Now I got to get the mirrors

[big bear]
