Cant wait to see this progress over time :waytogo:

If I get an the 97 or any OBS anytime soon, she won't get much love. I love this thing but I've wanted a 4x4 to work on and the OBS is my favorite body style. If this truck was 4x4, I wouldn't even be looking for another truck lol

Ok, I really need a toolbox. I have a lot of things junking up my can that should be in a toolbox. So I have a dilemma. I can't mount the toolbox I have. One of the holes for the bolts got sprayed over when the bedliner was put in. I don't have a drill or anything to punch through it. Any suggestions? Worse case scenario, I go get one of those clamp sets they have at like Walmart to clamp it to the bed

The bedliner shouldn't be hard to get through. Got a buddy with a drill? Got a hammer and punch?

I have a hammer but our toolbox is still at our old place. Would any thing sharp and rigid work? I wanna get the toolbox on and bedline it or plastidip it. (It's fugly from age)

I'll work on that tomorrow and see where I get. Maybe get some plastidip as well and start painting it. Thanks for the help, didn't wanna try to shove something through and have to drill

How many cans should I get? I'll probably need at least 2 for my toolbox. I also wanna black out the bow tie and trim on either side of it. May also experiment painting other places
Plasti dip? I used one full can for a grille so 2 should be ok
