So here's pics of the front of the toolbox repaired. It still needs some welding and then cleanup. I also boxed in the angle iron support under the bed floor where it bolts to the frame. And made a support for the rear body mount. The back panel is too rusted, that to get to weldable steel I'd have to basically rebuild the entire rear panel. So I welded a chunk of tubing from the floor support, with a plate on the end I can bolt through. I got one side done and then I ran out of welding wire. I also got the new tailgate mounted, drilled out holes and got the hinges lined up right. So now the only welding left is the other rear body mount, and I need to rework the trans tunnel. When the tub was on the frame I noticed it was just resting on the transfercase. Then I should be done welding on the body. It's getting exciting!!
