If you take the bed off you might as well clean up the frame rails and paint them, that's what I did when I switched the flatbed for a dually bed. It also gave me a chance to primer and paint the bottom of the bed where is sits on the frame, figured might as well try to slow down the rust since I will be keeping my truck for many years! thats my 2 cents, good luck with whatever you do.

Cut a hole in the box so you can access it, you will have to replace the fuel pump sooner or later. Then throw a bed liner in and go


seriously, the 64 Mustangs had a "trap" door in the trunk that let you accsess the electric fuel pump and sending unit
