Re: Trusty Rusty - 72 GMC LWB

In between the last post and now is a large gap where no pictures seem to have been taken. We got the truck back from the acid dipper and found much more damage than previously assumed. So we got to work. We started by priming everything, since it was all bare metal. Then, recently, we started bondo work on the bed. That brings us up to today.

The truck was rear ended at some point, as shown on the two rear lower panels on the bed, so we got to work on those today.
Heres the panel beforehand, and our outlined where we cut them.

No photos of the process, but here's the after once my son welded the new panel that we cut and shaped in.
