    RUST

    Well it is 18 years old and I got a surprise.

    Checked the other side and it's fine.

    This was rust proofed when I got it home 6 years ago.

    Oh well.

    I'll try to remember to take progress pictures as I go.

    Having restored several cars in the past, rust is nothing new.

    KBS makes a great rust converter too, it'll never rust again.

    This truck will be around a long time after I'm gone.

    Hopefully, the next owner won't wreck it.

    Right about now, a magic wand would be handy.




    2003- 3500 RWD Automatic.
    S & B intake, BD Intercooler, Pusher Air Horn, MM3 Double R Tuning, Turbo Timer, electric Flex-a-lite fans, FASS 95,
    50 HP tips, upgrade to 351 turbo, 3.42 gears, Twin air compressors, air bags, Remote dual oil filters, Hellwig sway bar, Front Winch. Home made Fuel Heater, BD Exhaust brake with Torque Lock. Tons of TLC

    I didn't look under the fronts yet, but the push test feels firm.

    The LR, I did get a peek behind.

    Don't see anything and don't see any rust stains on the flair.

    I been so sick it's been difficult just to do simple tasks.

    Fortunately, I can do alot of this sitting.

    Spray guns don't weigh much. LOL

    I just need someone to unload the 5 gal of Bondo.

    hehehehehe

    It's a shame too Joe. The truck is very straight and in pristine shape.

    I have to dig out the shrinkers and start forming the dog leg. That's going to be tough on the back. But i might be able to do it sitting. Now that I'm a junkie, I can pretty much double the pain shtuff.

    Yes sir you have a great looking truck.

    Could you maybe find another bed in good condition and just swap it out?

    You think I'm Trump? LOL Nah Finding one in this shape is going to be really tough. Affording it, while I do OK, is another story.

    I'm getting ready to sell it. Next year probably. It's getting hard to keep up with it. I'm the only driver now. I hate that damned Tucson, but it'll work I guess. I think I drove a whopping 600 miles this year'

    I may be going under the knife real soon. Maybe i can get some relief. @F350Cummins can tell you my struggles. I need to get Al over here to help with simple tasks. I can't wait to dig into this sucker. . . . Ugh
