...and so begins the dreaded rust repair.

We cut a bedside out of a 71 c10 long bed at Pull-A-Part to use for the patches on the drivers rear side.

I was lucky to pick up some body parts for no charge from a friend doing a frame off on a 72 Cheyenne SWB 4x4 that he wasn't using. Essentially, I have all the parts needed to eliminate the rust completely, minus the front floor pan which had been fiberglassed over during the first "restoration"...

Here are some before and during shots.
