Bed Swap

[Randy960]

Finally bought a new bed for my truck to replace my cracked and rusted out stepside.

you can see all three layers of paint

how I feel about my old bed

new bed on temporarily to get it home

verry nice, you should have left it blue and tried to paint the truck to match that

 

[Randy960]

The bed had some dings and chips that need to be fixed anyway, and it'd be awhile before I can afford the supplies to paint the truck, so it's going to be flat black for at least awhile.

Whats that canister on the x-member?

Whats that canister on the x-member?

Are you referring to the white plastic thing? If so, I believe it's a guide to help get the tool in the hole to remove the spare tire.

it looks like a vapor purge cannister, but it also looks like there is a power distribution block sitting behind it?

 

[Randy960]

It's for smuggling moonshine.

IIRC, it's the evap canister, and I think behind it is some sort of filter or breather.
