RS paint and restore under way


Recommended Posts

Got busy today made a rear step bumper and filler panel for the cargo bed all 1/4 inch diamond plate all torch cut then welded together I got all the pieces cut yesterday after work. I got lucky the scrap buyer down the road had several eight foot long by 24 inches wide pieces charged me sixty bucks which is a really good price I have been pricing new and wasn't to happy with the idea of having to spend that much and I have no problem wire wheeling the rust off to save some cash. I am going to make the brackets that bolt to the frame tomorrow after work this will bolt to them so I can easily remove it if needed I will rhino line the step and paint the rest red like the truck all that's left to do on this is run a weld bead along where the step joins the filler panel and weld on the top strip and cut off the excess on the side strips.

I like the way the truck looks with the bed.

It's short indeed but looks nice.

Wonder how it might look painted khaki... No, no, stupid thoughts :)
