Before and after pics of under the bed, and frame

[blk00z28]

The bed support rails were starting to rust. Wanted to knock it out before it really became a problem. Some of you might remember I did the front end with the spray on under coating from a spray can. Well, needless to say after it rained a few times it started to flake off. :roll: So I wouldn't go using that shit. I'll be redoing the front with POR as well when I get a few more cans. (The hot rod shop I bought it from ran out)

I did all of what you see, the core support, and under the doors where the rain drains are, it was starting to look like the bed rails and I know I don't want that to get out of hand.

I used a 2" brush to apply this because it went on smoother. Its not as smooth as I'd like it to be, but then again its not exactly smooth under the truck anyway. Used a whole pint for this, so its on pertty thick to where I shouldn't have to worry about it again.

This is after 3 hits of purple power degreaser, and a putty knife to take the rest of the caked on stuff off. Took me a good 3 hours to get what you see here after the degreaser. Thats not including the time it took to get the rear end out.

After I lackered on the POR.

Did you do that with the bed still on the frame? Would it have been easier to take the bed off? I plan on doing the same thing, just looking for some insight. Looks great. :tup:

Damn boy that turn out really good. Too bad that stuff is expensive as hell. I will defiently be using it when i pull everything back off my truck for sure. I have heard really good things about it. I used por 20 on my manifolds first i bead blasted them then degreased then brake cleaner. I applied it to them and then baked them for 350* for about an hour and the shit lasted about 1k miles before it started to flake off.

Please forgive my ignorance (as I am new to this)... what is the fan cooling under the bed? Is it the engine oil? It looks really good.

Yeah, if you have the means to actually pull your bed, flip it upside down and do this it would be a whole lot easier. I used a creeper, and sat on the driveway to do all of what you see.

Don't get the paint on me? Shit, that's where I went wrong, lol. I've got paint All over me lol. It was impossible not to doing it from under.

Ill be doing the rear end similar to Paul's. But I've got a little bit of a different plan. When it gets done ill update with pics somewhere lol.
