Yep, head is up, and looking forward to moving on with my life.

It's moving along a little. I'll post an update over there, instead of continuing this thread.

No it doesn't. It just happens to be the idea of the previous owner.

He did get a dui. I actually got the story slightly wrong. He did rear-end someone, and did get a DUI. But, he figured the truck was totaled, so he signed the title and just let it go. Then my dad's cousin bought the truck, I traded him a trailer, yada yada and well, 2 years later it's still my daily driver.

Oh, boy here we go........................... Dub X you should have just said the punk and that would have went over better.

for anyone else reading this- this will save a ton of time on a bed teardown and recoat:
1. the wear strip bolts will just break off with a vice grips on the nut- you'll never save any of them anyways, and it doesn't bend the strips like you might think

2. get a basic old school sandblaster (bucket and nozzle that hooks to your air comp.(100 psi +) , you get a bag of washed "playsand" for from homedepot -
instead of grinding and sanding all the rust

Seriously guys? Get your panties out a bunch and drop it. That post was from over a year ago, just let it die.

Dub_X · 11-21-2012, 11:39 AM

o_O This was dug up out of the dirt. Yeesh. I posted this over a year ago lol. And immediately after, I wrote a message to the first guy that quoted it apologizing because it came out wrong

Thanks, Tony

Ok guys, I asked a moderator to clean up the the thread, to keep it open for any future questions.
