Thanks guys!!
The inside of all the panels were shot with undercoating so I scraped all of it off to prep for blasting.
After:
The two center floor braces were bent so I used our tubing roller to straighten them.
They were also dented around the mounting bolt holes.
The truck was stripped and repainted at some time. The paint strips easily and quickly with a razor blade leaving a thin coat of primer and some spots of filler. I'll strip the primer/filler with a DA sander to avoid blasting and warping the bed sides.
I test fit the front header and cross brace, the filler panels I made, and the center braces.
Also cut out the rust that was on the flange that the bed floor spot welds to and welded in new metal.
