Further along on the new bed liner project.
Yesterday I Osphoed the rust in the bed and this morning I washed and scrubbed it out and left it to dry all day in the sun. Then tonight around 6pm I painted it with Rustoleum using a roller. I also used a brush for the spotted areas on the sides.
I went out around 10pm and it was already dry. Then in looking at the weather overnight which called for some showers I decided to go ahead and place the bed liner in place to protect the newly painted bed underneath. It was a very easy one man job to do and it fits like a freaking glove.
So the next step is to lock it in and install the tail gate piece, which I can do tomorrow sometime.
I know this isn't really that big of a project but I've had this truck for the last 15 years and it has helped me operate my business over all those years and I feel like it's my best friend so the sentimental value alone of replacing her bed gives me great satisfaction and it's hard to put into words more than that but some here may understand.
I plan on holding onto her for many more years ahead and will eventually repair all the other items on the restoration punch list.
