Re: Budget Shortbed: welding, grinding, rust oh my
Sticking with part of my original plan of painting and cleaning as little as needed, I decided to do an oil finish on the frame, it dried quite nicely and I like the look. I did spend a night scraping and cleaning it first. I had to in order to inspect it for issues. Everything I'm doing now is just putting together a complete working reliable truck, nothing too fancy or pretty.
The 307 is from my first car I still have, I rebuilt it 20 years ago then replaced it with a supercharged 383. I just replaced the intake and pan gaskets, fingers crossed the head gaskets are still in as good of shape as when I pulled it.
