    1998 box repair - Is it repairable?

    98 box has seen better days. Can I get something to weld in here or am I better off getting a new box? Been looking for a pewter short bed box but coming up empty. Found a green box for $250 but after painting it I'll be better off painting the whole truck which is not in the budget right now.

    I replaced my keys when I did all the ball joints last week. Now the front is looking good and the rear is a little low. Do I need to add a leaf? No block like my buddys 1999 has. What have you guys done?

    Anyone paint a toolbox?

    Looking high and low for a tool box to put in the back of the truck. Dont want plastic but I do want black. I can buy a new box for $250-300 but I'm finding used boxes (tractor supply & Kobalt brans) on Craigslist in silver and wondered how paint would hold up. I imagine a lot of prep would have...

    Roll pan rear bumpers

    So, I was on EBAY earlier this morning and came across a few roll pan rear bumpers. Got me thinking about them......anyone have one and NOT like it? I'm afraid that if I get one I'll notice that I use the rear bumper as a step more than I think. Is there a "front roll pan" to match? :shrug:
