About 2 years ago, a bad tire threw a tread and slapped my bed really hard. I pulled the damaged piece down but never had it repaired. Last week I found a very nice bed at the salvage yard and cut out a piece for the patch. It's not easy to find a nice original patch piece because most beds from the 1980s have a lot of rust.
I made a repair today. I have a MIG welder but I have no experience. This was a good way to try out my skills.
I ran out of daylight, so I will need to finish up later this week.
