HUNTER'S 1978 GMC C15 SIERRA BUILD THREAD

I really hate undercoat, almost as much as I hate removing it.

Scrape, scrape, scrape.

So, just like before on the cab I also discovered rust on the underside of the bed. Awesome! After taking a close look at it we should have just replaced the whole part instead of just the bottom (which we had done before the bed was off.) I poked out all the holes and circled them until my dad and I could come down to a decision.

For some reason almost all of the rust we have found, besides what was under the battery tray, was all on the driver side. We think maybe because this is the side towards the center of the road. Opinions?? Here's what the other side looks like.
