Finally spent some time on the bed floor. I've had every excuse in the world not to finish the floor but I've run out of good ones! Still not where I want it so the battle rages. I'm not shooting for perfection but want it as good as I can get it without having to hire a mudslinger. Tedious work.

wow I'm glad I went the easy way and jumped on the "patina is cool" bandwagon. I do not envy trying to body work a bed floor like that, however, it is going to look so good when it's done. And all the better that you will have that trick steel floor step side.

Re: Previous owner '68
I have seriously been thinking about a patina paint job. But there's a certain line I can't cross and excessive rust is one of them.
Not so sure how trick it is! I know there's at least one 64-66 Chevy stepside with a steel floor from a obs truck in it. Hopefully I can get it straight enough for paint, if not, bedliner! |

16" long straight-line (Hutchens Hustler) on the rib tops and a smaller one I shaped by hand for the areas between. The 16" is air powered but the smaller between ribs one is all arm powered. I wish I had a smaller jiggler but the 16" one is all I have.

Got excited and sprayed primer way too early. It made the fact that the floor needs much more work than I thought painfully obvious. So tomorrow, more block sanding, probably more bondo, and probably some banging on high spots. Absolutely the last bed floor I will ever do! Except for maybe the jimmy when I get back to it...

Looks good from here on my phone…
Are you going to paint it or bed liner it? |

I agree it doesn't look to bad from the pic. At least with the primer you can see where it needs the most attention.

There's a guy on You tube, Carter Auto Restyling, man, he's a metal work'n fool. His work is crazy good. He teaches as he works. I've learned a lot for his channel.

I have the bed floor in decent shape but am going over it to get all the pinholes. I haven't been posting pics of it because they all look the same! |
Re: Previous owner '68
Id say you got your gutters cleaned right on time... The amount of rain we have been getting has been crazy..
