Dinner Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey guys, Haven't been on much lately mostly due to work and what not. However this morning I finally got around to picking up the box I bought for my truck a few weeks ago. Cost me $600 CDN and came with the tailgate, chrome bumper and all the lights. It obviously isn't in perfect condition, but I wasn't going to buy a brand new box. Wreckers around my place wanted $1500+ for a used box that is in worse shape than this one, so I think I did pretty good. I'll be taking pictures of it as I work away on it more, but for now I only have a few. I was talking to Tyler earlier and I'll probably take his advice and do the body work on the box, do the body work on the cab and then paint the entire truck. Instead of just painting the box to match my cab. Removed some striping, plastic and glue. The dent in the front of the box is from when we were moving it from one truck, to my flat bed. Not that big of a deal, should be fairly easy to get somewhat smooth again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinner Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 with that bed. just bodywork? Well I just finished taking off the Dually fenders (latest picture). Right now I'm working on the underside of the box, cleaning some rust, sanding, priming that sorta thing. Once I have it all primed, I'm going to hit it with some rust paint, then some sort of undercoating. After the underside is done, I'll start sanding the outside of the box down and get it ready for primer and paint. I'll probably patch some holes that are in the floor though before I go ahead with the paint and undercoating. And after I sandblast my frame, paint and undercoat that. Hopefully I'll be able to install the box and get it all lined up. Also going to install my after market Lift Pump along my frame rail once my flatbed is off as well being as it'll be easier to get to the fuel tank.

Dinner Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Got a bit more work done on the box for my truck as well as my truck itself. Didn't take any pictures of the box but here are a couple of the truck as it sits right now. The parts lying on the ground in the second picture are my Master Cylinder and Hydrobooster, which I will be changing out once my new parts show up :ermm: So right now the truck is unmovable, but ah well. My mud flaps are just sitting on the truck for now. I removed them when taking the flatbed apart, I'll re-attach them to the frame once the truck is movable.
