Damn disease
Thank you guys. I do enjoy resurrecting the left for dead. It is pretty satisfying to see the results as you go. Entertaining you guys is a side bonus!
I figured I better get the box back together. One thing I have learned is to always start on the passenger side. Any learnings will not be staring at you every time you get in the vehicle! But this went pretty good. Did some repairs to the stake pockets and then attached the first one with self tappers. That leaves a little hole to ensure your weld is through and rock solid. Then I turned it over and welded the other side of the hole as well. I sandblasted what could be and gave it a rough sand to remove the rust where it will never see daylight again prior to attaching, and put some primer down to protect until the day it gets blasted for paint.
