Also he just texted and said it was a century
Century is a good shell. Century, Leer, Lund, and many others are on a lot of our trucks. I have a Century on Blue, and the tonneau on lil Red is a Leer. I also have a Lund for an OBS 6' ft and a tonneau (unknown origin). So many shells and tonneau's up here. It's hard to keep up with all the brands and former brands. I may have which is on which wrong, but I have the 3 brands. LOL
FWIW, I have used POR15 twice. The first time, on my Mustang, is still holding strong. The next, on the F150, is rusting through again. BUT, the F150 was a lot further gone.... like already starting to flake. I think I waited too long. I would absolutely use it again.... I think it would be a great thing to use after patching a panel, especially on the weld areas. At some point, I need to get to my core support as well. I suspect it will be a long, drawn out process.... and I've got a couple things coming up that I need the old girl for.
What are you using to blast the bed?
What are you using to blast the bed?
I think I have some Black beauty aluminum oxide maybe, pretty sure, - it's on a pallet in storage lol. Well, I'm going try what I have. I bid on it , didn't expect to get it, ended up with it. Solar company went out of biz, a lot of off the wall stuff at that auction. Had some very high end WATTS filtration set ups for compressed air systems. Desiccant (silica gel) systems for painting, plasma and blasting. Totally capitalized, a lot of the stuff wasn't listed for auction, it was a last minute thing, right time right place which doesn't happen too often. I know I showed you pictures of the set-ups, well at least one of the three I built. Regardless, I kept the hi-lo busy that day lol.
Anyway, aluminum oxide media, -it's pretty versatile stuff. Not quite carbide or sharps. The frame is pretty caked, just the welds get blasted on the bed and the underside. I'll have to test it on body metal first, then maybe aluminum (for rims) if it doesn't beat up the metal too bad.
Have a couple rolls of heavy mil visqueen I can use for a paint booth. Make a frame out of sch 40 pvc, 2" I expect. Cheapest way to go for a good and temp booth. Might use it for blasting, if I can reclaim the media and use it over again. That'll depend how much comes off and how quick lol. I'd rather blast outdoors.
I know what you mean about not being able to find something that you and your lady BOTH like. The house we bought was the first one we found that had everything both of us wanted but one thing.... main floor laundry. And that is kind of rare in Utah, unless it's a one level home.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. Wish we could have bought it while the market started soaring here in Utah. My friends Mother just put a house up for sale in Idaho.... it's about 6 or 7 years old, 3800 square feet, pretty decent sized property, for about the same price I paid for mine. I don't want to live in ID though, lol. Utah or Colorado is all I'd want to do. I have a hard time reading my Wife too.... there was a house we looked at that I quite liked - the whole house had been remodeled, and it was 4 levels. She didn't like it, but didn't say a word until we were in the car, lol. I coulda saved myself a good 1.5 to 2 hours talking to the guy about the history of the house, etc. had she just said something. Oh well...
It was on a street called Fox Run, and I was like "this was meant to be" because I'm a Fox Body lover, LOL.
I've got a POE switch for phones that I gotta repair on Saturday. At least one fan is dead in it. It'a a rack mount, so I need to pull it out to fix it, which means unplugging 48 RJ-45 jacks..... should be some fun. Hahahaha. Hope it all comes back up OK.

LOL. Yea, I kept disconnecting a POE switch while working on the DT last week lol. It all intersects/comes together at the DT in the office and at a bulky surge protected power block. Think there's 6 or 7 45's connected. It's too easy flipping the power block switch. POE is connected to it lol. Everything came back up fine but yea, I wasn't cutting 50 lines either lol. I'm just glad all the clocks in the house weren't connected to it....that would bite.
Maintenance didn't come to reset it until the next morning.
