please help me decide what to do on my truck. the bed is off of it now. would you por15 the frame and leave it at that. or would you pull the cab and do the frame right. my money is real tight now and really don't have the funds to do it the way it sould be done . i could get it back on the road if i just por15 it now. faster then if i pull it all apart. the new doors has already been painted on the inside and the fenders also before they was bolted on. and the jams. it got one new inner fender on it but needs paint. help me to chose. the best way. thanks

Id get the wire whell out clean the frame and spray on some of duralast bedliner paint on it its like ryno liner only cheaper and very nice. Its sold every were and put a ruff with semi gloss finish on it.

Dont have to remove cab to do it cause it in a spray can its like undercoating a truck.

YOU answered your own question.. you said should you do it right come on now OF COURSE YOU SHOULD DO IT RIGHT!!!! por 15 the whole thing and get it over with doing it once and right is always faster and cheaper than twice and half @$$ed!!!

Gotta agree with old Rusty, I started like you are thinking and once I seen that new engine in the hole I decided I had to do my truck the RIGHT way. Stripped to nothing, EVERY part either rebuilt or replaced with new. It's not my D/D so there's plenty of time and it's cheaper than buying a new truck.

Good luck with your project....
