if you can afford it and the place has a big enough tank to fit that frame. i would acid dip.
i would try the local 18 wheeler truck shop for the stack. if you mean smoke stack.
in neeed of a good Short Bed. Help!!!

another F-150 shortbox with a good frame i saw for 850. might be a better
starting platform than what i currently have. i also dont know what to do about
the bed. it is probably beyond saving.

i would like to know your thoughts on the POR 15. i am thinking about buying
another F-150 shortbox with a good frame i saw for 850. might be a better
starting platform than what i currently have. i also dont know what to do about
the bed. it is probably beyond saving.
from all the mud guys ive talked to they suggest por 15 products over powdercoating becaust it doesnt chip or scratch and has a stronger bond.
and also go to local junk yards and scrap around before you start ebaying and such. you can find better deals on things that are repareable.

i would like to know the distance from the edge of the bed ( tailgate end ) to the first bed mounting bolt hole.
Then from the edge of the bed to the next bolt hole going closer to the front of the bed.
Then from the front of the bed to the front of the wheel well.
last..
back of wheel well to the rear edge of the bed.
trying to see the similarities between the long bed and short beds and where they differ.
Thanks!
