Took the bed off just a little bit ago.... and BAM!!!!!! surface rust all over the frame. Wasn't expecting as my truck is 100% rust free on the body and everywhere else. So clean up time for tomorrow heres some pictures of it now.

Thanks bro!! Tomorrow probably gonna end up cleaning all that rust off the frame maybe paint it not sure yet at how I wanna attack it haha i hate rust and all body work

Then my fuel gauge has been acting up and I've changed out gauges with others I have around the garage with no changes on how it reacts, So I'll check out the sending unit see whats up with it hopefully thats a easy fix.

Im still debating on a rear setup for the truck too...Wether I want Porterbuilt's new trailing arm setup or the 4 link setup or even a different kind not sure yet...What's everyone else think???? I will defintely do the front dropmember and arms from Porterbuilt. But right now I'm so broke if I wanted to rub 2 nickels together, I'd have to borrow 1 of em!!!

Thanks man!!! Best thing about the brackets is they were free and its one less thing I have to build or make haha. Oh I got paint for the frame going to do a black hammered finish, I've always like the look of the hammered finish so we will see when its done hopefully it looks good haha. And yes lots of pictures to come I had to buy the wife a new memory card for "HER" camera cause I'm using it all up haha.
