im making some progress here slowly , the roof and pillars have been body worked and primed , the new rockers inner and outer and new cab corners inner and outer are on , the truck appeared to be solid until it was blasted and showed someone already did rockers and cab corners they were hardly welded on so after cutting welding and patching the cab is like new again , last weekend i repaired the cab mounts on the right side after the cage nut in the floor started spinning and need the body mount bolts cut off

Yeah and there are still tons of them out there today. For dirt cheap.


Truck looks great man. I like that you kept the bed floor low. I did the same on mine.
