Gas filler repairs look good. Good tip on bending it first. Wish Id done that. I welded it in the top first then bent it into shape in place once it was hot.
Oh nightmare, your truck is clear over base a real pain to repair

Was looking back in your thread yesterday, at where you have come from and all you have done.

Impressive
Thanks Rian, it's small steps but I'll get there eventually

And speaking of small steps, I have the door check and cab back panel to paint before I reassemble the cab. While sanding I discovered some bondo.... you know what comes next, a hole

It wasn't actually as bad a the passenger side was so was a relatively quick repair, the usual cardboard template transferred to steel and welded in place.
