First step after the basic maintenance was to start rust control, body repair and trying to uncover WHAT is hidden under all that paint.
Brought home the welder and decided to start by filling some holes in the bed rail (p.o must have had a cover on it at some point).

Hidden under the paint were even MORE holes, aside from the 40 small ones, a few of these bigger guys were in there. Looks like they had been filled with some sort of foam and then painted right over.

A few minutes with the welder, and some quick rattle primer and it looks MUCH better.
