I picked up a 1986 reg cab 4x4 for $600 from a guy i work with that had a bit of frame rot and decided to try and fix it. Got a little bit a progress in since i started this summer. Welded the rear part of the frame a bit and coated the entire frame with kbs rustseal with a flat black topcoat. The body of the truck i actually painted with hurculiner. Now i just need a bed cause the stock one is completely rusted out. Let me know what you think

 

I have a couple of questions on things im not to sure about. After getting the gas tank mounted back up and replacing the fuel lines, I am in need of a new fuel sending unit and fuel level unit that mount to the gas tank. Does anyone know the part numbers for these items and the best place to get them? Also, After mounting the gas tank back to the frame it looks like the fuel lines are going to be in the way of the bottom of the bed, i had to cut off the bed bolts cause they were way to rusty to take loose so i was wondering if there are some type of metal spacers i could use to space the bed up off the frame a bit more and where i can get new bed bolts other than the dealer?

 

What's wrong with the dealership? They can get you almost everything for these trucks.
