Re: Boppa's old yeller truck

Ok, finally a real update. We had to send the truck to the frame shop on Mon. because if you look at the pics from the rear, somein ain't right. Turned out the driver's rail was perfect, the pass rail was a bit wacky. but they got it all fixed. Then, I got the bed floor out into the driveway and used the 'ol sledge method to straighten it up, which worked better than expected! In the BIG news, Uncle Matt, who production manages the bodyshop where this miasma will be painted, came out with Boppa on Thursday and we got the bed assembled! YAAAY! Then Friday night I got all the under braces fabricated and installed, and started the mudwork. Saturday we got the mudwork finished, sides welded, the shop cleaned, the last 2 holes done for the bed floor and bolted in , bed pulled and back on the cart, seam sealer cut back, tailgate metalworked for fit, Whole mess scrubbed down and primed, blocked with 150, and reprimed. Came out pretty nice! We're all pretty stoked.
