Still stripping off old paint.
Bought this tailgate locally. There is a small dent near the "C", but that should be fixable. However, the inside of the tailgate is beat up, dented, scratched, etc.
I have about 90% of the truck stripped of paint now, so I guess I need to mix up some epoxy primer and get this metal sealed up.
Then I've been parts shopping trying to get some materials shipped in for the project. Looking at wood bed kits, the oversize shipping charges and the add on charges to drill the holes bothered me.....so I lucked out and found some wood locally for sale. Guess I'll be making my own wood bed kit.
Look at this wood grain, it is certainly going to look nice when it is sanded and finished.
