Haven't taken much time to work on the truck until lately. Got the bed pulled off, scuffed it down with red scotchbrite pads and dish detergent, and shot it with satin clear. I was surprised at how much color came back. The bed floor is finished except for bolting in two boards. I didn't want to bolt through the wood like factory, instead I'll bolt the cross rails down and notch the back of the wood to clear the bolt heads. Gives it a little bit of a cleaner look without the bolt heads showing up top. Also picked up a pair of 15x8's for the rear. Dad bought a '66 short/fleet a couple months ago so it has some company in the parking lot now.

Before and during scuffing:








After spraying clear. I used Duplicolor lacquer, half gloss and half satin mixed.
