Its been a while since Ive posted so Ill give some updates. Continued the work on the bed. The more that I striped the paint the more I found filler hiding problems. Ended up replacing both lower panels and part of the rear tail light housing. They were repairable but my skills at hammering out wavy dented up metal isn't very good but my panel replacement skills are getting better.
Taillight filler neck turned out ok.
Started the stripping process
Passenger side lower panels replaced.
Had to pie cut the inner wheel well. The replacement panel's wheel arch didnt line up all that well.
