I got both front bed brackets finished. I just need to get a couple of bolts to hold them together with the top brackets. I should be able to get to this wrapped up and welded to the frame this weekend. I'm using the remaining S10 polyurethane body mounts that I bought.

This time I used vinegar to clean the hard scale off of the surface of the brackets. This usually takes about three days, but I used boiling water with the vinegar. It took about three hours instead. There is a light rust on the surface in the picture. I forgot to neutralize it with baking soda. I threw them back in the vat for a few minutes and rinsed them back off with baking soda and water.
