Re: 1971 K20 Rat Rod Resurrection

Known Challenge #4: Rust

Overall, I don't think this truck has much of a rust problem. It has it in all the common areas (common based on everything I have read on these boards) but where it does have it the amount/area does not seem too bad. The real challenge with all of it is going to be the fact I have never done any sort of metal work in my life. I don't even have a grasp of the technology yet. I will learn though.

I am including pics of the worst areas of rust below. They include some rust through on the firewall, and some rust through in the front wheel wells. The rear ones are pretty much fine (I think). The rear rindow/tailgate also has a bit.
