You can't beat a good double cab.

When looking there went many early bay ones around so I had to make do with this

I picked it up a week ago and havnt stopped smiling yet.
The downside is we havnt got weather like you it's constantly raining.

Thanks for all the comments
and about the weather Yes it's great right now but in a couple of months it will be in the 90's with 90% humidity

I decided to take care of some rust issues on the bed of the truck

I sandblasted,treated the metal with ospho,then sprayed a self etching primer and a couple of coats of high build primer.
I need to fix a few spots and I'm ready to spray the color matched bed liner!

After that I'm on to the fixing the drop gates.

About the rust, it wasn't that bad yet
there is rain, salt air, and abuse from using the truck to haul stuff. and it's 42 years old!
At one time in it's life someone mounted a 5th wheel hitch in the bed and debris collected under the plate caused some rust issues. I wanted to take care of the rust gefore it gets to bad and starts requiring rerplacement panels

BTW the hitch was just for show (I hope)
I can't find the pic of the hitch installed

Well I got buisy and finished the bed this afternoon

I used a product called Raptor
Went on easy and looks good!
I'm Happy
