Well after a few weeks off do to back issues I am back at it slowly. First order of business was to get the truck out of the driveway finally. I knew it was going to be a tight fight and would need to be able to move it to a angled position in garage to utilize the work space. Knowing that my back is not doing well I thought I would try out a set of the Wheel Dollies from Harbor Freight, they came in a set of 2 for $54.99 and rated at 1500lbs per tire. Bought two sets and used the 20% discount coupon. Got them home and tried them out. They defiantly do work, I was able to move the truck around by myself without any issues. So I guess they will be keepers.
Now that I have the truck in the heated garage and have the room to do the rust repair, that will be the next item on the list. I will be replacing the inner rocker/outer floor and rockers on both sides. Also a small patch panel for the bottom of the passenger door.
Here is the
