Got back on the truck. Started stripping the paint from the bedside. A replacement bedside had been installed at some point. The paint has been original on this truck but the right bedside had signs it had been repainted. The paint was cracked and was thicker than the rest. When I got down to metal you could see gold paint was the original color. Still rust free so I'm not complaining. I welded up some holes in the side of the bed that were anchor points for a slide in camper. I hope to get the dents taken care of this Sunday. At some point I will need to remove the shell. Right now I am storing the parts I pulled off. Wife wanted to go camping this weekend. Told her the truck was out of service until further notice! At least she likes camping.
