thanks guys, and no is the answer VT. I would have never imagined doing this to a truck last year when I bought it. My mechanical skills and motivation are slightly better than the average Joe but this is pretty extreme by some people's measure. I can't cover up rust though!

Did you see your old hitch in post #57? looks like new now and getting ready to bolt in now...

If I had it to do over I would would buy a good Daily driver (like Special-K's K-20 for sale) and fix things as needed..... I consider this the easy part, the body work will suck for sure!

Wow, the frame looks awesome. I am afraid of tearing into my truck, it was "restored" by a guy in SD a few years back, and so far I have more than a few questionable things (engine is seriously screwy ('79 block mismatched heads) hidden body rust, tons 'o putty)

At least the rust won't get any worse here in southern AZ
