Continuing to work on the "body work" aspect of the project. My fenders that I thought were pretty good have a lot more small dents than I realized. the bed sides show a lot of history as being used as a truck.
I have decided to "paint" the inside of the bed (bed sides, front, and tailgate) with bed liner material. The current plan is to coat up to the bend line on the bed sides but I have not decided where to break it on the front panel or the tailgate yet. This will blend in with the bed liner that I put on the bed strips and angle brackets.
I have tentatively decided on using a Chevy blue mettalic paint color (619D) that one of my son-in-laws has on his 2019 Silverado. This should provide easy access to touch up paint if/when needed.
