N2TRUX, I have some flat white paint, I'm thinking what you're thinking. I'm going to try and match the bed to the truck somewhat. If that works out, I'm going to replace some rust panels and weld up some holes on the cab and front clip too, and spot in the paint.

Bill, this should be my last outdoor project. I did this all in the gravel under my car port with an extension cord to the house for power. We start the dirt work for the shop this week and should have it done by Thanksgiving. Then, I'll be able to work indoors where I can actually jack it up without the jack sinking into the dirt.

The injury is done and healed. I had a knee reconstructed out of some exotic stuff. There's plenty of hardware inside of my leg now. No metal detectors for me anymore for sure.
