Thinking
Are you gonna paint it outside as well ?
Btw, the bed panel just about separated completely in back of the 98. They pulled it apart with ratchet straps securing a load. That's why the t-gate no longer shut..the bed side dropped and spread out.
Picked up 6' of 1/4" x 2 1/2" bar stock at a metal supply shop earlier this week. Fabing up a couple bed stiffeners with alternate tie down locations over the weekend probably. I'll be attaching those to the frame.....perhaps get another couple years out of it lol.

Crap what happened ? Anyway, should of took some pics when I was over there.....later perhaps. As it sits currently. I pushed the panel back in, shut the t-gate. But the one side is dropped resting on the bumper. It's not going to ride like that, the side would more than likley snap totally off going over the RR tracks.... so yea, it's down again for now.
