For those late to the party this truck is rusty as hell and sat in a field for years. The drip rail is rotted through in places. The area behind the sun visors is rotted all the way through in places. I get rain through the firewall. You can see the ground through the bed. The rockers are pretty much non existent, etc. My trailing arms are eaten up pretty bad as well.

I am following the advice of many of you here and just working on mechanicals and getting it drivable first. Someday I will buy a big compressor and a welder. Maybe build a bigger shop and work on the body.

For now I finally have a safe place to jack it up and work on it. I also earn enough now to knock out some of this stuff that I used to have to wait forever for.

I still have only driven the truck for a block or so and I have owned it for 5 years! I am ready to get it on the road!
