Thanks, I will be finishing up the other side today.

72armyswbtruck · 04-05-2007, 11:27 AM

Just look at the rust, ran the hose thru them for nearly four hours.

Once you flushed your side saddle gas tank, did you seal it with anything?

72armyswbtruck · 09-19-2007, 04:32 PM

I was going to but then after it sat for a while it still had rust inside that I couldn't get rid of it must have been in the baffles. Talk about a pain. Anyways I have decided to get rid of them and have nic new ones built

72armyswbtruck · 10-03-2007, 08:56 PM

OK so I finally got the bolts for the new replacement bed and took the truck to have the Spray In Bed Liner applied, here are some pics, sorry I didn't have a camera of when I removed the old bed and replaced it with the new one. I did however get a chance to clean the frame a little and paint it with a couple rattle cans of Black Rust paint.

72armyswbtruck · 10-03-2007, 08:58 PM

wibilly · 10-03-2007, 10:22 PM

nice truck, looks like your waisting no time

72armyswbtruck · 10-03-2007, 11:21 PM

Got the F**D Ranger paid off so now I can focus on this until the baby comes along.
So far I am into it for a little over $2100.
$500 for the truck
$750 for the tires
$225 for the exhaust
$380 for the bed to get sprayed.
$245 in misc Paint and clean up stuff
Now if I total the parts that I have sold to fund this project then the truck really only cost me $1100 so far. This includes the cost of the parts trucks that I bought.

Silvius · 10-03-2007, 11:35 PM

Tough looking rig....especially for the $ invested. You are getting a lot of bang for your buck.

72armyswbtruck · 05-03-2009, 11:05 PM
