I was thinking of getting out of snow work but it looks like im staying in. On that note im doing a little work on my F-350 to make it better. I will be adding a alum. faltbed, fullsize light bar, air bags, painting the truck white ( my company color). Also painting/undercoating the whole frame/body. Here are some pics. I started today. Got the pick-up body off.
The bed bolts would not come out easy. We kept on breaking them torx shockets. So we were welding a bolt on the head of the nut and taking them out with an air gun and a socket.
The truck looked great before but should be very nice when you get done. Keep us updated! I love projects! LOL!

I've seen aluminum beds for sale as low as $1,900. IMO $3,100 cash and carry sounds high for a SRW. Good luck on the build and keep the pics comin.
I was looking at Martin Weldings Faltbeds. They are 1950 cash and carry. But once you upgrade the floor to 3/16 and add a couple options there bed is only about 350 bucks cheaper then EBY. Plus eby is 45min away and Martin welding is 3.5 hours.

Plus i like the looks of the EBY bed the best.
I am close to martins. I would like to see how you like the eby.

I didnt get too much done today. I just took the steps off, lights under door, window visors and sprayed the one side of the frame rail too see what it looks like. I really like this rubber undercoating stuff.
I was just woundering how did you get all that factory gunk off the fram rails to you can sand it down to paint?
That gunk is a big time PITA. I used engine degreaser and a 3,100 PSI pressure washer with hot water. It worked good. Then on the rusted spots im just going to sand. Im lucky the truck has very little rust on it.
Gotta agree with the POR15, I had a 2000 f-250sd and the frame was in tough shape... A few cans of POR15 and a paint brush and it turned out great, and lasted till the truck went down the road a few years later! Awesome project.
