OK, a weeks progress and I'm just about done with everything I want to do to this thing. Mounted the tool box up on 4'' stands so it has clearance underneath and is flush with the bed sides.
Today I took on the sway bar install. Cleaned it up and painted it gold. Why? Cuz I had 1/2 a can of gold hammertone
.....picked up some new bushings and grade 8 bolts.
Got going on this and ran into a PO's project. 1/4'' plate hoops on the front frame. This made drilling a real PITA. Yet once again, I managed to win out over the truck.
