I believe you got your moneys worth outta those. Did it about fall apart when you took the clips out, or were they stuck in there good with rust. I live just 100 miles south of you..... gotta love living in the Rust Belt. That molasses based liquid salt brine that INDOT loves so much eats stuff up worse that just the old fashioned "salt" did. It loves to creep into EVERYTHING. I have seen that stuff in places on some of the previous vehicles this stuff has crept into that doesn't get wet even with a pressure washer...... I hate that brine crap............

She was toast it was eating away the u bolt and the pinion bearing blocks. It fell apart for the most part but had to beat the hell out of it for the rest to come out. Previous owner replaced rear half of drive shaft and said he did u joints to. Lol

The rust is really not that bad on this truck. Minor fender crap and drivers floor pan. The bed and doors have been changed. But it needs it again lol.

grease and duct tape should do the trick

It's looking good but I was partial to the old paint scheme...yours was the only other factory NA/PL I've seen. (Besides Elphie, of course)

What is ol stand for having a brain fart

 

[GENIUSLOERTS]

hotshotidi,

Arkansas has treated me well so far, been here since 1998. your blue is defiantly blue, almost matches the tarp on the ground.

last night I put on my new to me front and back bumpers. its nice to have bumpers that are not all twisted and mismatched.
