Lookin' at your truck I was thinkin', you should just bedline the whole truck. You'd never have to deal with scratches or rust again if you prepped it right. Lights look good in there.

What brand? Roll on or sprayed? I have Line-X in the bed and it cleans up easy peasy.

Painted my rear axle and shocks! While sanding I discovered that all 6 shocks are rancho 9112 adjustables!! This truck was such a steal!

That's a nice axle you have there. :naughty:


How ugly was it before? I've tossed around the idea of doing the rear end on the 76.

went down to Joann's fabric today and picked up a yard of RealTree twill and got started on this project:

Old door panels:

RealTree wrap:

Decided to wrap the center console too!
