Much appreciated. Nice to be getting some of the bigger things checked off the list!!

Got the back of the cab taped off and got aerosol bed liner down. Laid down real nice with a great texture. Have always hated not being able to clean the back of the cab...and now its maintenance free. Hit the back of the bed panel also since the beds off. Will reinstall tomorrow.

Thanks greg. Austin will be over working on his 63, so im going to get the bed back on with his help. Shouldnt take but a few minutes to reinstall.

[1963c-10]

PO bolted eye bolts on at some point. Ill remove them after reinstall and fill the holes.

[Bomp]

Real good lookin paint job.
Nice work.

[Captainfab]

Thanks guys.

Got the tape off the forward bed panel. The stainless hardware really pops now. Too bad it'll never be seen. Bed back on tonight.

Pimpston....you should be able to see the eyebolts now in this pic. Just forward to the stake pocket.

I'll get the info tonight for you. It is great stuff. I get it from Harbor freight and have been using it for several years. Has a great texture and very durable. I haven't had any issues on the places I've used it since 2009. No chipping, peeling or fading.

pimpston65--you can put eye hooks in the holes for mounting bed to frame and lift the same as 1963c-10's setup. set the bed on the frame so you can remove the eye bolts, then move the bed over the bolts holes. if using the rubber pads just use a jack to lift the bed--insert pads. don't mean to jack your build 1963c-10.

thks i am using the pads, and for some reason yrs ago i welded up the holes on top of the bed side rails, so i will use the holes on a few cross sills and lift as a unit...

Got the bed back on without incident or scratches. Also got the glovebox cover reassembled. New gaskets and bumpers should keep it in good service for a few more years.
Ran out of light and was the best pic my phone could take. Thanks to austin and the engine hoist it was pretty simple.

and dont think you can pass the dark pics off on us, i want a do-over...

[1963c-10]

I hate the short nights. Just gets dark so fast. Will get better pics tomorrow.

Templates arrived too. Thanks a bunch.
You should be fine going through the cross sills as long as the floors still fairly solid.
