After removing everything I was then able to power wash, de-grease and apply a metal prep/etcher. Once it all dried I began the Por-15. Now remember, I am only coating with detail anything I can't get to with the bed on.
When I replace the trailing arms I will be able to get the axle better and also get into all the nooks and crannies.
That is where I stand at this point with the truck. I have the wood finished but have not taken any pictures yet. Went with the pine and put a Honey finish on it. More to come as the process goes along.
