About a month ago I ordered a body lift for my truck and started the prep work and found out I was in for a big overhaul. I started out by removing the factory plastic bedliner and was greeted with this!
Nice Big Freaking hole of rust!
As soon as I saw that I started hitting every bolt with pb blaster. At school later that week me and a buddy started trying to break the bed bolts loose. All of em broke loose and 2 broke.
I finally got the bed off and then started on the front bumper and found more rust!
I started doing work to the cab and actually had everything go smoothly. The bed was a different story. We finally got the big hole rigged up and started checking for more rust and found 2 more holes in the bed. We finally got those patched up and ready to go back on. I ended up pressure washing and scraping the whole frame then painting it with bedliner. Looks great now but I forgot to get pics of all of this! Sorry guys!! Here it is with the cab lifted.
During the 3rd week of working on the truck my birthday came along and a lot of my family helped me out with getting some wheels!
