Now the fun part.

Yeah... that's me up there.

This bed is an Oklahoma bed, a 307 powered Cheyenne Longhorn. Some one nuked the engien pretty bad, there was a piston in there sideways and a shattered bore in a cylinder. But the truck looks like it was worked pretty hard before it's death.

2 coats of POR 15 later, this is what the back of the frame looks like. This took about 3/4 of a quart to do. Used up 4 or 5 brushes.
My arms look like I went full sleves with tats...even on my left shoulder. Looks like I got in a fight with the POR...and it looks like it kicked my ass too!

Here is the part i found amazing. This truck has sat for a long time. It looks to me liek almost 10 years. Yet... only 2 bed bolts broke when taking it apart.

Never fails... when you want them to break...they don't, BUT... if you need the bolts, they will start to break one by one... but not untill the parts store is closed.

I'll get the after pics tomorow.
