Sooo, I pulled the bed off of my truck a few days ago and just started digging into this thing. I'm planning on painting the frame with semi-gloss black, after I finish doing all of the prep work. Today I took the wire wheel to the top and sides of the frame and was amazed at how much of the stuff came off with just a smidge of elbow grease. Take a look for yourself at the before and afters and tell me what you think
