I decided instead of takin it off the road {had to drive it for a while} the first thing i did was i found an 84 stepside bed for $300 on Craigslist figured id work on that untill the weather got bad enough to put the truck up for the season it was crusty bad fenders/bad wood but the base of it was in good shape the sides tailgate front panel cross braces were all in good shape spent the summer takin it down to metal had to sawzall/grind/drill/break/every bolt to get it apart i pounded all the dents i could out i flipped it over made sure the bottom was stripped down real good then coated the bottom/all the braces with 3m paintable undercoating then i sprayed epoxy primer on it flipped back over did the body work wet sanded it and sprayed it with epoxy primer again
