Thanks, the red is actually painted over the light green paint which I believe was factory. Where are you at in MD? I live in St. Mary's but work near Baltimore.

In relation to the rear bed sides bowing out, take a look at the rubber body mounts and see how worn they are and how the metal is in those areas. Seems they would have to be pretty bad to let the bed bow out.

Good luck, welcome to the board and keep us posted as you move forward!

I need to tackle the front Hub bearings in the next two weeks or so. Anyone have a good source? Tips or tricks are appreciated.

Cheers
