Well I decided the old wood hauler needed some work if I wanted her to keep haulin, So I took off the old deck, cleaned up all the rust, corrosion that had accumulated over the years and applied POR15 rust preventative paint over entire surface

A friend of mine hooked me up real cheap on some used TREX, not sure how it well hold up to the abbuse, but the price was right so i got it and screwed it in place with 182 self threading screws, ( required pilot drilling to 7/32" prior to installing)
Also put some new shoes on her, person I got it from had passenger car tires on it, Got some new 185R14 / "D" load rated tires installed all the way around, that is the stock tire/load range that came with these trucks
Here are some pics
