Hahaha I just threw it on there to see what it looks like! We took it right back off after these pictures were taken! Just wanted to see everybodys reaction!

This will be the start to my slow progressed frame straightening and strengthening, frame cleaning and painting, and 3 inch body lift install. I plan to have this done within 2ish weeks or whenever my Chassis Saver paint from Magnet Paints gets here.
Before pictures: The whips are just on for s and giggles, I might put them back on, I don't know for sure

Power washed everything off, stood the bed up on the front end of it and power washed that out too.. It was not pretty what came out of the bedsides..

The next day I just did a little wire wheeling seeing how well the frame would clean up..

Its a little more pitted than I like but theres not much I can do about it so itll be alright!

Its gonna take a lot of work but I feel as if itll be totally worth it in the end!

Ill keep everybody updated for sure!

I know all to familiar how the frame cleanings go, I cant wait to see how it turns out

I will keep updates on here. Tonight I started removing stuff for the cab and then found that I have a bad wheel bearing and need new diff fluid. Nothing major, pretty much a mess around night.
