Fenders,hood,grill and bumpers come off.
Bed came off next.
We decided to start with the bed first. sand and fill in holes from trim and the stake pockets.
Then install the roll pan

I decided since I plan to use the bed why not put a rhino type liner in. So I got some bed liner in a can and went to town on her.

Copper Dreams, in the mid 90s Ford used a color called "Desert Copper" on it's F series trucks. My Dad still has the one I owned that had it for a second color in the 2 tone, I can probably get you a paint code.

Got the cab ready to start sanding.
Also took out some leaf springs to loose about 6" in the back.
If anybody needs some leaf springs or a back bumper....I need to get rid of these.
