1965 wood bed floor - DIY

[UTSA]

well its been a while since I post to this thread so I'll update y'all on what I've done.
This has turned to be more than a wood bed restore, but more of a cleaning and protecting sheet metal.
attached are some of the things that i've done.

So what I'm trying to do is clean out all the dirt and knock out some of the surface rust and paint it with Rustoleum Protective Enamel Gloss Black. The surface side of the truck will be left intact for a future paint job. the underside will be already done though.

Here are some of the results I've been getting.

Those pictures above were just one coat. I plan to do one more at least where I think the water will splash on the fenders due to the tires. I also couldn't help it but mock up a fender in the truck and see how it would look lowered. It would look great!
