Dually to SRW
Picked up my replacement SRW bed on Friday. It was taken off a '99 the day the guy got it new for a utility bed. He had it in his barn for 14 years. It has just a couple of scuffs from removal and storage that should buff out. The tail gate came with it and is like new.
I pulled off my dually bed with an engine cherry picker and swapped out my duals with a temporary set of OEM 17"s with 285-70s. I have another set of clean steel factory Dodge chrome clad wheels that I will put on when I get some tires. looking at just going with 265-70-17 in an all terrain tread. The 285's look good but rub a little at full lock turning.
Plan on cleaning up the frame and doing a fresh undercoating before I install the "new" bed.
I drove the truck with the duals swapped out for the singles and DAM!!! that was the best performance mod I have made yet, getting those heavy things off the truck.
Will post more as I move forward on this project.

Most of the trucks around here are totally rust free.
