Lake Tahoe,
Had my 64 45 for a couple years finally beginning to do some work on it. Picked up a 67 40 tub for parts here n there. I am hoping the 40 corners will fit the 45 tub corners, looks like I will be making my own mounts and cross supports. There are just 3 rust holes in the bed hopefully don’t come up with more after sandblasting. Had to cut all the origional mounting bolts off that did not break was able to remove all but 3 from the tailgate. Talking to SOR and Cool Cruisers 45 SWB parts seem to be a make your own. Got the floors cut out of the 40 tub have to figure out or find another tub for the rear corners. Found out the 40 cross member under the drivers seat is different from the 45 so will have to make a new one.

Paint/ Rust removal, blasted all the origional paint off with walnut but it would not remove rust had to sand blast it. May end up cutting out welding pieces back in like I am doing on the cab if I can’t clean themenough. I am going to do line-X on the bed and the inner floor boards. Have a lot of parts n pieces ordered that I do not have.
