We are making steady progress on the body work. Soda blasting the panels after chemical stripping seems to be the best way (besides paying someone else to do it!). I am hoping to roll the truck out of the barn this weekend and sand blast the frame and bed floor. We will roll it back in the other bay and complete the passenger side sheet metal and alignment. I am looking forward to some warm weather so we can start spraying Primer etc. Last night we patched up the fuel filler hole in the cab as well as the dash radio hole.

I am thinking of using Aluma-lead above the fuel filler patch on the B post to cover up the mess the PO made when replacing the roof. Anyone out there have any experience with that product? The bodo used by the PO was about .75" thick and cracked through the paint. I don't want a repeat on this job. Any suggestions are appreciated.
