So... I did a thing today.

Got to use my trailer.

Actually bolted it to the table. The outer boards were set at frame rail width.

Brought it home and ran it down the ramps like a champ. I won’t say it was cheap but it is certainly going to save me a ton of work and I think the final product will be better. It’s got a couple dings in it but the worst one is here.

I’ve already pushed it out a good bit from inside the tail light hole. May finally go pick up a stud gun. I’ve been looking for an excuse to get one. The inside of the bed is really good. Maybe as good as my truck. The paint is all skinned off the tops of the rails but it’s straight. Seams underneath are very clean. It still has the heat shields under it.
Plan is to get it stood up on end and pressure wash the crap out of it. Degrease and pressure wash again. Scuff as best I can underneath. Epoxy primer. Then inner frame coating everywhere I can’t get to with the primer.
Flip it over and strip epoxy primer, primer and paint for the rest. Along the way, fit the new tail gate. I think I’m going to bed line the inside too. Not sure in what order yet on that. Probably outside first.
In other news, radio and mounts came. Need to figure out speaker boxes. I may actually have a set of 6x9’s around here somewhere. Hopefully I’ll make some progress soon.
