That rust looked worse with the paint on. You gonna paint it yourself? Hope you didn't use the duplicolor roll-on bedliner.
most of it was just bondo cracking,whoever used to own it i think used alot of bondo to straighten out the bed, or had cut out the rust, filled it then bondoed the **** out of it, it was pretty thick but it wasnt rust, only real rust i found was along 1 or 2 seams and that surface rust on the bed, yeah ill probaly paint it myself, i have just a little bit of experience with paints, no it was rust-olium(sp?) warrior bed liner
Looks good. Whats next?
... have it run
did i miss something here? did you buy that from eric? or is eric living in the east wing?
if you did get it from eric, what made you do it?
Grand theft auto again maybe

he'll take the yota when he wants to wheel hard AND pull chicks
all the cool kids drive yotas anyway
I thought you said it had a lot of Bondo?! That's all metal under there! Oh yeah, I have a small tub of it that might still be good.
Bedliner looks bad ass. Do you know how long I've been carrying that stuff around?
Where'd you put the springs and stuff that were in the back? I might redo Ugly's suspension on sunday. I'll be over to try and get Charlie running this afternoon...
yeah ive idolized michael j fox since back to the future... now i get to be a cool kid tooOriginally Posted by uglyota
there is alot of bondo, but it was used to make it straight not fill in holes,
and the springs i took to bryan iron and metal.... they gave me $5 for all of em
there in the garage
thats cool man...i've always dug the 1st gens as long as they're not rusted out and complete.
i jsut finished painting my uncles cherokee cooper and not to toot my own horn but turned out better than i thought it would if you need any help or a paint gun i can bring mine when i come back to college station next month.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
paint might be a little down the road now....
pulled the valve cover today and this is what i saw, and i broke my wrench trying to turn it over, i cleaned it up a bit, and it moves fine now... then i drained the oil and it was brown like it had water in it....
think a 4.3 tbi would look good in this truck?? just need to get the adapter
or something like this...
