Man, the first thing I thought was how that grey strip really set it off! I love the look.

Cam just keep coating the floor of the bed till its gone.
When line x does it the floor of the bed gets put on very thick because it takes all the abuse.

Gave my truck a quick bath. Was a bit too chilly for the first wax of the season, just wanted to get all of the caked on mud and dirt, especially since they've been starting to sweep around here and the entire truck was covered in it.

But, after the quick wash, it revealed some rust poking it's nose out on my bumper and rear wheel wells. Going to try out some rust converter when I get some time and then use some fluid film on top of it.

I wire wheeled it last summer and put some undercoating on there, but I must've missed a few spots. For the area I'm in and the age of the truck, it's in excellent shape

went to wrench-n-go... found a good solid front right fender and a decent tailgate. tailgate has about a quarter size spot of rust along the bottom... might go back for the fender.. might be sucks to put a good tailgate together with one's I have. going to try to get the wheel well trim from there too. never been to a pull your own parts place before...could get addicting!

FINALLY replaced my one cab marker light that was out.
Tomorrow the 350 gets an oil change and fuel filter and the commanche gets the same.
