picked up my step side bed today
 

It took me forever to find a bed

here is the driver side fender which will need to be replaced...

it needs work on the front and rear..
the front has a few holes and rough towards the bottom..

Looks like a great start. If you cut the rusty areas back to solid metal you shouldn't have any trouble welding in new metal. Good luck with your project.

Good luck on your frame. If you have a welder and some skills or the willingness to learn, you'll have it whipped into shape in no time. I saw a thread once about a guy who pulled a 63 Impala SS convertible out of a ditch and was rusted beyond any imaginable repair. He took his time and fixed it inch by inch and made a show piece out of it. Your frame looks nice and workable. By the way, Welcome to the Board, sqweak!
