I've been doing more blasting. The left rear fender is blasted, the step supports are blasted, and two bed rails are now blasted.

Also filled a couple holes in the bed sides that used to hold something. Well, a couple were for the spare tire mount, but dunno about the others.

Started thinking about organizing the air ride next.
SkinnyG - the factory short steps are not braced. Only bolted to the support bracket from the front bed cross sill and to the bottom of the fender.
