pawn shops are always good for the drills, and exspecially right now. I bough a corded drill for 15 bucks a while back. if you only need it for a bit, the ones around here will give you 75% of what you paid for it, so that would be like 3 to 5 bucks to rent one for as long as you need it.

Bottom of bed after being Marine Cleaned and power washed. Marine clean turns out to be a great paint stripper for unprotected paint. It took the paint down to the factory primer sealer like nothing.
 Some heavy duty primer for the bare metal and light surface rust. Then I'll primer it and probably undercoat it.

Flat black. Decided not to undercoat it. Nothing out there that is DIY is what I consider good enough, and in another 16 years if I need to go back and 'undercoat' it again I won't have to try and match undercoatings or remove any undercoating (which sucks). All I'll have to do is grab a can of flat black and touch it up.
I'll do the underside of the bed tomorrow I think.

Bed done. Now to tackle the surface rust along the bottom edges of the bed.

I bet you have parts hidding all over the place. Your wife must be understanding. I have parts everywhere myself, and mines whole. Looks good too. Glad my truck came from here, so rust to fix. I do have tons of dents to fix though. LOL.

Matt,
Did you ever think about using spray on bed liner from a rattle can for the bottom sides? I've used a few similar products that were pretty inexpensive, yet durable as well. I don't think you would gain much weight either if you lay it down in thin enough coats  Just a thought.

Yah, I have parts in the basement and all over the garage. My wife loves the truck almost as much as me so she has no qualms with it.
About the spray on bed coating. Is it really any good? I once cleaned the back half of the frame and used the 3M rubberized undercoating on it. It was hell to clean off ( ended up having the frame sand blasted anyhow) and didn't really hold up that well to wear and tear. The bed coating stuff any better??? I did the duplicolor DIY roll on bed liner on the top of the bed rails on my 07 Ranger and it didn't hold up so well either. If the product hasn't improved from that, then I don't think I'll venture down that road.

pretty sure you have to prep any painted surface to get that stuff to adhere properly.
looking good matt!

Yah, typically a scuffing with a scotch brite pad will do. I have some metal prep stuff that would etch the paint and probably give it some tooth.
Maybe I'll just use some of that spray can stuff for just the fender wells to give it some chip protection.
