So getting alata work done on the truck. Got the bed off. Saw zaw came in real handy. The bed and bolts were so rusted that the bolt spun freely so I just started chopping away. Also got alot off the front too getting ready for a new bumper and blacked out the head lights and getting new fenders. My fenders weren't in the worst shape but for 20 bux from the junk yard for used/new ones I couldn't pass it up. And also from the same junk yard getting a new bed gna be 200 bux and this bed is in mint condition. It's just silver but the whole truck is gna get repainted. Also got most of the rear part of the frame painted after grinding it all down and sanding it. She's coming along pretty good considering bein in the army and nit getting as much time as if like to work on er.

N this is gna be my new winch bumper. Jus gta wait for it to arrive. Jeffsbroncograveyard.com is a great site. They were very patient with me and answered all my questions. Me and a tech went thru my list to make sure I had all I needed and he even let me know that I had a few items I didn't need. Makes me feel very confident in my order.

Also got the bed from the junk yard on today. Not a speck of rust and only 215 for it. Best deal around here I could find all that's wrong with it is the rear fuel door but to easy. I'll just take one off the old bed.
