Well i started working on the interior of the crew yesterday and its turning into a snowball effect. I was going to just pull out the seats and install the new carpet but i found some pin holes of rust starting so i might as well fix that while im in there. All of the seat belts are blue so i might as well put black ones in it while im there, the truck needs a steering column so now is a good time to do that, and while the steering column and everything else is out i might as well paint the interior the color i want. Its never ending lol

So why did you get another bed? I just put that one on there and there wasnt anything wrong with it?

No offense man but this is not your truck anymore and i am really getting tired of criticism from you about changing **** on it. I got another bed because for one i dont like the roll pan and think a crew can should have a rear bumper and for two i dont know what kind of filler is on the bed seeing as i did not do the work. Being a somewhat body guy i like to know what is underneath before i paint it.

Hey Willie, as your body and paint guy.... I would recomend you bring that 2 door over and leave it at my house on a permanant stay! I agree with what your doing. The bed was cheap enough to insure you know whats under the paint and your right on with needing a bumper on a CC. Keep on it:metal:
