Did you spray or roll the bed liner on? I am getting ready to do my cab. How many coats do you think it would/will take to get a nice durable finish and how many cans did you use on your bed?
Thanks alot I just want to be prepared when I do it.

 

how much did your bumpers cost, and where did you get them?

 

I rolled it on and used a brush for the hard to reach spots. It will take 2 coats for a good finish. I used one of the big cans and one small one im not sure of there exact size.

 

I got the rear bumper and sliders from Marlin.

 

Thanks for the info on the bed liner. I started preping my cab today, so hopefuly I can spray it next weekend.

 

Seriously cool truck

 

Are those original mud flaps I see on the white 83 shortbed? Want to sell those?

I did one coat on the right rear panel. I thinned it out to much and made a big mess. but here is what it looks like applied.

 

First coat almost done

 

Lookin good, how are you going to get it off the rear quarter where it ran?

 

Ill probably do a light coat of herculiner over it.

 

Are those original rear mud flaps on the white 83 and are they for sale?

Nice header. Are you redoing all the exhast? If so what size pipe are you running?

 

I think I will make it 2-1/4". not much bigger just because its not a high output motor.

 

Beautiful truck. I can't wait to see this finished.
