Attempted to pull the bed off with the help of my wife. She's about 110lbs with wet cloths... needless to say she was not able to lift her side..lol I'm going to ask my neighbor for help.
I did however lift it up and back so I can get to the fuel pump. While I am there I'm changing the fuel filter as well and hopefully he can coat the frame. This will all be easier once the bed is off and on the side of the house..lol
I did notice in the rear however there is some rot/rust near the /on the spare tire well.. See attached pictures.
How concerned do I need to be about this? The rest of the frame seems fine. The front of the bed also has rust. Huge concern?
The truck is 17 years old so I'm almost positive it will rust out before anything but, while is off this weekend I might as well prep and paint it with Chasis Saver.
See attached pictures.
Getting closer! Hope to have the new pump installed in the morning. Already removed all connections being very careful of the clips and elbows.
