Ol' Blue 1970 - Cab Roof & Bed Floor Repair

First, some pics of the cab and bed floor before I began working on them. One corner of cab roof had rusted through all the way to the interior of the cab. The hole was about the size of a dime on the inside of the truck. On the outside, the hole was patched, and I used some Rustoleum Leak Stop Flexible Rubber Spray to coat the drip rail. Be forewarned, that stuff is messy, so try to contain it. Clean up any overspray quickly. Having said that, it worked well, and the cab has not leaked since.

The bed area was in bad shape. "Rust City." At first, we tried the vinegar and water technique, but the rust was just too bad and deep. So, we applied RustMort to the whole bed area. It takes 24 hours to cure. It turned a washed out greyish color when finished. Then, we primed it.
