- This bed on this F150 is a mess! The old bondo repair is failing badly and it's time to get it fixed. On this week's episode, we dive into how to repair what's already been repaired terribly once. I had to sand most of the bondo out of the bed side, repaint the areas I sanded then finally get the patch panel cut, fit and welded into place. The end result is fantastic! This sheet metal repair makes a huge difference in the overall appearance of the truck bed. I've taken this bed from beat up, ugly and rusty to beat up, ugly and less rusty. You can apply the installation of this repair panel to your F100 or any similar rust repair on your project.
Every time you work on this bed your “technique” or vision to leave the welds visible makes more and more sense. This bed is way too far gone to do much more with and it’s a cool look. I’m just amazed at the amount of body filler in this thing. Looking good.👍🏻
The guy who did the original repairs definitely got a bulk discount on body filler 😂
Your closing comments about your relationship with the truck explains how a vehicle becomes a loved member of a family...
Absolutely. When this truck is done it will never be sold.
What a crazy amount of bondo! I was sandblasting a tractor hood once and encountered the same thing, it was over 1/2” thick. Really did a nice job with the paint and getting the panels patched in.
What’s your plan for the tailgate, will you try to patch it?
No plan for the tailgate yet. It’s pretty far gone. I’ll probably just make it functional and run it until the truck is done and decide later on if I want to replace it or patch it.
