Got the box taken back apart so I can paint the crossmembers and patch some rust on the bedsides.

Only had to cut 2 out of 14 bolts to separate the box sides from the rear cross member and head... gate.. board? This is gonna make things more manageable.

Managed to get all of the bed cross members primed and painted, the rear one got painted green then patina'd. Primed and painted the rear frame cross member as well.

The ds bed mount that the front bed x member bolts to had the hole drilled super close to the edge so I added a little meat to it.

Got the 6x9 panels, the speakers, and the sub/amp installed. Speaker wires are routed to the dash.

I'm doing a great job avoiding working on the bedsides, lol
