I agree. It's a survivor. I really don't want to change that. I just want it in good working order. I only have to figure out where to draw the line. How much is too much, and how much is not enough???

I was thinking about trying to rub out that primer and see how it looks. I really wish that they hadn't sprayed that on there. But it is what it is. And I don't like the black bumper at all. Or the driver's door for that matter. It doesn't look right. The paint is not good. I know that these are small problems. But they are problems.

I want to try to use used parts as much as I can. For instance the bowtie on the hood is gone. I don't want a new one. I want an old one that will fit the truck. I have a buddy that has a lot of stuff but it's all 67/68-71/72 stuff. No 70 stuff. So I have to search the net for what I'm looking for.

It's an old hay hauler and I'm going to keep it that way.
