Re: Scott's '51 Build
With the chassis out for beautification, I decide to fix up the bed. The rear cross sill and stake pockets got crunched at some time in their life so I ordered a new sill but found a couple of leftover center stake pockets from a long to short bed conversion. I cut the welds and pulled the pockets and sill out. I'm sure there is some way to pull the sill damage out but this seems much easier overall.
I found a fine comb, a big wasp nest, and a ton of rocks and gravel. Also have a bunch of rust holes in the front cross sill so I have a replacement for that as well.
