It was like this....
Those were from about a year ago or so too, at our old house.
Now some new ones of what's been going on.
Spring hanger is rusted, ordered a new one to replace it while the bed's off.
Stripped everything, cab visor, grille, molding, lights, almost everything.
Cut off the old outer cab corners, and primed the inside,
That's rust stopping primer, trying to avoid anymore rust.
I also bought some flanging pliers, since I don't have a welder I flanged the old stuff, then used panel bonding adhesive to glue on the replacements, along with some rivets to hold it til the glue dried.
rocker panels too....
Then I got started sanding and priming what went to bare metal, while the glue had alot of time to dry.
finished up on the cab corners and rockers, then primed them....
While doing this I found a can of timber wolf chew from 2005 in the cab corner on the driver's side and some sunblock from probably 84 LOL
the cab and front end is painted and done, going to start on the bed soon and then paint it, but first put all the cab and underhood back together. Here's some pics from a week or so ago of the inside.
some of the last body work pics...
