Haven't seen one of those with the bed side toolbox in years. My first truck, a 73 F100, had one of those and it was great. You could put a bunch of junk in it.

Had two 79 Broncos. Wish I still had one. Great hunting vehicle. Good luck on the rebuild!

Its got sand paper on it not a grinding stone

[paintman]

Man I hope your OK on that truck bedside I know the old ones have thick metal but that grinder even with 50 or 80 grit is gonna cause you problems.sorry not trying to ruin your thread but I'm just trying to help

Yep bad thing to use to take paint off of a car and its called a grinder for a reason. I can already see the high and low spots in the metal.

The passenger bed side is all bondo up and smooth and is ready for primer.

[paintman]
