I will definately link a new thread here so you can find it. I took some pictures last night but need to upload them to my computer. Space in my garage is at a minimum, so this will be a challenge no matter what.
I took some measurements and the bed is still pretty square only 3/16" off from corner to corner. I made sure I had proper air pressure in all 4 tires, and measured from the frame to the floor in 3 spots on both sides. When I compared both sides it was off by 1/2" in 2 spots and almost dead on on the last spot. So it appears that the frame is okay. Now just sheetmetal and time. I think this will be the time to cut the rust out of the cab and put new cab mounts in.
I'll start another thread later today with the initial damage pics.
Oh... the car show in Deming is the last weekend in August and is hosted by a car club called "The 4th Corner Elites". Good club, and the car show is called the "Summer Fun Run". You can camp on the grounds at the Deming Logging Show. So people get there on Friday and stay through to Sunday. It's a big party and it's all contained on the grounds so it's a pretty unique car show. The actual car show is pretty much all day on Saturday, and there is an awards assembly and raffle on Sunday. Good time!
