need to install soon.

just working on interior. cut out floor pan rot. brace and frame are good. wire brushed and sanded, View attachment 453544View attachment 453545View attachment 453546View attachment 453547View attachment 453548View attachment 453549View attachment 453550sealed/primed and bedlined. need second coat of bedline

 

[T. Highway]

I see you already applied bed liner but didn't weld in a patch yet for the floor.........won't that make it a bit tougher to repair?

Bert

 

[petmar]

yes. I grinded, rust sealed, undercoated frame and support. then sealed florcand bedlined.

if I was going to weld that would have been out of sequence.
using a pretty good gauge of steel sheetmetal which will be longer than a typical pan
going to rivet in and use body sealer. than bedline top and undercoat bottom

this is my shop truck

 

[petmar]

until I learn how to weld this will work, homemade pan and braceView attachment 453900View attachment 453901View attachment 453902View attachment 453903View attachment 453904View attachment 453905View attachment 453906View attachment 453907View attachment 453908View attachment 453909, riveted and seam sealed. need to prime and bedline

How do you like the bedliner in the cab? Thinking about doing that in my M1009 but I was worried about the smell when it gets hot out and the inside of my vehicle turns into an oven.
