Bubba, your 'before' pics look better than the "restored" M37 I bought a few weeks ago!

One thing I need to do is pull the bed and repaint - so, whats involved in pulling the bed off?
[FONT=&quot]Well my before was after a year of work and figuring out how I wanted things to look (I wanted it to look good but I wanted to figure out how I wanted to do things before I did my “build”). The bed is simple its 6 bolts and your off but don’t forget the gas tank filler tube you have to unhook that too. [/FONT]the pick in this one is my true "before"

Really well done.
[FONT=&quot]Well the it looks better when its not covered in dust. My neighbor is having her house worked on so there is lots of dust on the truck. [/FONT]the running lights will get powder coated this week then i can put the bed on this week end and paint it, then it gets the stars.
