you got it............it has a hitch in the bed, not a 3'rd wheel but i imagine for hauling horse trailers or ??? ...........

when i got it the mirrors were rotated out so they stuck out even more...

i'll be pretty much hauling stuff that will fit in the bed..........heavy but compact......fire wood, cinder block.........??

I vote the "after"...

Now you need to fill in those old holes before water gets to them and starts rusting the metal.

i thought that was going to be easy.........once i knew the hole size i was going to buy some black plastic plugs..........dab a little rustoleum on the edge of the hole...........and be done with it

BUT NO..........

i had to drill the heads off all the lower screws.............and this is what i'm dealing with....

i thinking that i'll use the my rotozip to grind it down...............until i get to the hole,,,,,,,and get back to plan A..........except i'll need a plug with a big head?????

I would take out your door interior, then just get a Step-thru Bit and drill out the entire bolt/nut until you are to the door edge. Then i would get some thin sheet metal, a little bondo and some TLC to fill the holes. Why put plastic on a metal door? Good lookin old school though!
