Unfortunatly, Jr has 1/8" thick square knobbie sheet steel welded to the header, the tail cross piece and several places on what are otherwise solid angle brackets.

Its all over what appear to be very good conditon original bed strips and whats left of crumbling southeren yellow pine.

Its a summer project while I'm doing my DOD furlough days....Crap, I ain't gettin paid for those forced days off...Someone send me some money! Please!

Carefully grind out the welds. Install milled 3/4" thick trex "boards", paint and install the strips and clean up the weld blobs that are on the current angle strips.

For now, I have to live with the big giant chunk of sheet metal drumming down the road and the 294eleven loose bolts and nuts thru all the bed strips rattlin and squeekin!
