Unfortunately they do, and a lot of it. But, this truck is being built to use. The cab isn't perfect, and my body work isn't going to be perfect either I'm sure. I have been self etch priming and then sealing all my panels, as well as under coating the bottoms of the cab and painted and primed the frame. I'm planning on coating the frame again before I set the bed back on, but we'll see. My plan is to drive it while I find a burb donor and build a crew cab for it. Maybe after that it will become a "dry" vehicle.

Hey, don't jinx me man! 2-3 weeks away? No, no, no, let's say 2-3 months. Hopefully it'll be done. It actually moved today. Once I get the truck mobile, I'll tackle the plow mounting and such.
