I think it is time for this truck to go to the next level...I'm gonna get rid of the rust and paint the truck.
I have a decent 3 window cab that will simplify a lot of the rust repair. Trying to decide if I should make another dash like this one or try something different.There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

I won't give up on Roofus, but the truck overhaul may cut into its quality time. It all depends on how crazy I get with the rebuild.There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

I always say, they are never really done. It is great that you have had a chance to enjoy the truck. Times change and we change. Good luck on the transformation and I look forward to some pics of the process.

It's fun and it has character....but it is still a really rotten truck. ...... it NEEDS a fresh cab!There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

Heck mate,there are guys paying good dollars for a painter to squirt that sort of finish on to their cars and you have the original stuff. Is the cab really rusty underneath or as it appears, a nice straight body with that lovely old aged look???I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

At the bottom of the doors, the inside and outside panels don't touch. There is about a 3 inch gap...same for the cab corners. The worst rot is in the roof above the windows....you can see daylight above the window seals. I think mice built nests in the headliner. Originally Posted by Whiplash23T

I have a really nice, rust free cab that could be swapped over, but it doesn't have the cool looking weathered farm truck look.There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.

I never got around to swapping cabs. I guess the rusty truck will live another rod season.There are two things in life where penetration is really important.....and one of them is welding.
