Ha ha. I looked back at the first page. I forgot it was a Wrong Bed when you got it. The bed is looking good.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
A little POR-15 action on the red oak tonight. The wood is getting the Mar-K ‘forever’ treatment: https://www.mar-k.com/_assets/images.../woodtest2.pdf I was planning on a flat finish for the final coat, but the glossiness of the POR has me rethinking that maybe for a satin

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks, though it might not have to last forever. Would it surprise you if I said that the whole time I’m putting this wood floor together that I can’t stop thinking about how I want to do a metal floor...
![]() Used my square drill bit to poke holes in the flanges of the tubs. I’m liking how this is turning out; now time to get some color on them ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Not at all! I'd actually be disappointed if you weren't thinking about the next version of modifications...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Since you like working so much I have an idea. Take an old tailgate and section up the inside of it. Then cut yours up and build your tailgate so the factory lines aren't cut in half by the raised bed floor. Hey you are the one doing all the work and we like to watch. Lol

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks James! Looks better in pictures than in person, but it’s just a nice driver
![]() While the rear tubs are off getting powder-primed, I started goofing with the hvac. Didn’t get far other than pulling the unit and enlarging the firewall holes for these billet trim rings. I’m not in love with them, but they’re definitely better than plain sheetmetal holes. Thinking of painting them my favorite shade of VHT...

Ok, twist my arm

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Well, the ac unit is back in with the bezels in place. Don’t look too close though, because the paint bubbled and cracked around them... Oh well, I don’t have time to tear the whole business apart and repaint the firewall, so on to the next thing. Hopefully getting the wheel tub in place will make it not so obvious.

The picture is dark, we can't see anything bad. Besides, I know a guy.
