Thanks Wayne & Brad. Before going out and buying casters I thought about how many times someone has said to me "Wish I knew, I have some of those I'll never use".

Let me know, thanks 8-)

Eliot:
That truck looks NICE! Hopefully the blasting won't expose too many bad areas. Based on what I saw in Fredericksburg -- with your plans and Eric's skills, you're gonna have a truck that makes mine look bad.... dammit! ;)

at least you'll have a harder time outrunning me :)

Thanks Scotty! Thanks for the pictures of your DC bed (Rare). I have the later style bed. I've ordered a replacement from the Funky guys. Gerson says it's perfect match??? Here's a picture of the rare early style bed compared to the later style.

I went over to A&R blasting this moring to check out the progress, it's looking good. Soda blasting is cool, it takes the paint off and leaves the metal smooth. There is even some writing on the nose that became visible. German?? ;)
