Got some more work done putting the truck back together. I cleaned out the gas tank with vinegar and some old trampoline springs, then put it back in the truck. It’s much cleaner inside now. I carpeted the floor- it was $10 for a 5x12 piece of carpet from a salvage store nearby. I cut it out and put in in with self drilling sheet metal screws. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good for $10. My dad pained my rear bumper- and also lettered the dealer name. I put my spare tire back in- still need to paint the wheel to match the rest. Finally, I painted and re-installed the grille. There were a couple of pieces broken out from the eggcrate, so I found a wood paint stirrer that was about the right size and epoxied in new pieces before I painted it. Again, it isn’t perfect, but it was a $4 can of spray paint versus $70 for a new grille.
