Here's a better picture of everything installed:

 

Refilled with fresh gear oil and added a couple goodies:

Marlin Crawler magnetic drain plug


And a turtle shift knob

 

I scored a decent bed about 150 miles away (these are a rare commodity in WV). The guy had it on a 2nd gen pickup so I didn't feel have to feel bad about taking apart a pickup . Mine was rotting apart to the point of no return. I think the paint was the only thing holding it together, plus the fender wells didn't even have the original shape, just lumped up bondo that someone had done a cheap paint job on.



Also got a chance to test out the springs: the above pic is with 1200 lbs of gravel in the bed, and it came out level! Although I had been sporting the raked look since I hadn't adjusted my t bars yet.

 

Looks awesome

 

Great find on the Bed. Definitely hard to find in that shape.

 

Here's my two-man/one-weekend paint job that a buddy and I did a couple weeks ago. This was my first experience with body work and his first whole-vehicle job. We put in about 12 hours of sanding and repairing a few rust holes:

What lift do you have

 

Paint job came out great!

 

3" body + OME leafs and torsion bar adjustment.
Have plans to add BJ spacers in the near future

 

You said you got your rear springs from 4wheel parts, do you mind how much they were? I wanna order the. But wanna know how much to expect, because you have to call them and tell them the part number

 

Paint came out great. Trucks looking good. What kind of paint did you end up using??

Now go out and play in that snow!

 

Dude, you did awesome! Great work!
