finished up the tubs, flapper wheeled the welds, re-welded the pin holes and used a 3" coarse wire cup on a grinder to remove all the, flaking paint, rust blisters and random crap that had accumulated over time. sprayed ospho and wiped it down to prep for fresh coat of bed-liner. just the basic Rustoleum gallon give a nice completed finish. From wet and shiny to a good satin.
worked on the tailgate to get the mechanism functioning and tailgate hangars straitened. in a few weeks it will get a stock bumper to finish the back.
