This vehicle came in for media blasting, and then metal repairs. However, the customer had no idea on how vast his problems were; cab, frame, and bed were all bad, and all needed extensive repairs. In the end, the customer bailed, and basically threw all his stuff away, sad.
Original 6 ft bed was junk, I found him a good 8ft bed which customer then requested I chop it to make it 6 ft, I told him it would be expensive, but, he agreed.
Marking up old bed for cutting up pieces to serve as templates.
Holes showed up after I media blasted it, to be repaired later, many holes in this frame!
I ended up ripping this all out and rebuilding this entire area. Notice the hole on the bottom?
Looks ugly, holes in frame stop the cracks.
