Re: '73-'87 Low Buck 4X4 build AKA Lesson Learned
And now for the rust .......
On the good side I guess I did aquire a 4X6' 3/16" sheet of diamond plate out of the deal ... not too shabby.
The cab corners were full of bondo ,newspapers and beer cans.
The cab was pretty bad the rockers were gone but had the slip ons covering it up. The floor support was basically gone ,and there were road signs cut to fit the floor with bondo smeared around the edges ....... inginuity I tell ya
All the crossmembers under the bed were gone the PO had used some 4X3" tubing along with the lift blocks and bolted straight through the bed and into the frame.
The rear shackle mounts were rotted and cracked ,Im still not sure what held them together.
