I can borrow my dads angle grinder with a wire brush head on it, and that and some time should knock most of the grime off. Here's my question, when I get it cleaned up what kind of paint or primer should I use? And is there anything else I should do to the frame or the bed while I have it off? Thanks Bob

When I did mine this past weekend, I used SEM Trim Black, it is a semigloss paint. It worked nicely on my truck. I had my camera to take some pictures, but when I went to use it the friggen thing was dead.....Definately use heat on the bed bolts though...Good luck.
