I wish I had something more exciting to post up, but this is all I got. My oldest is graduating this week and the wife is not giving me time to play. The only reason I was able to get the primer sprayed in the bed is because I have to take the truck out of the garage for the grad party and it was bare metal yet. Once the party is over I'll be finishing up the body work. Just need to fix some more rust on the bed floor, straighten out the bed sides, and go over the hood and I'll be 90% done with the body work.

I'm not really planning on any fancy work in the bed, just fixing the rust holes. It will get a spray in liner and will used as a truck again. I might eventually replace the wheel wells, but who knows. A bed cover will do wonders for making a bed look good.

I've also got the jimmy to do a body swap on. replacement body is sitting on a trailer waiting for sandblasting.
