first thing up is getting the core support cleaned and straitened. i got this in KY and its really clean, was just banged up from being in a junk yard and got bumped with a fork lift. i also really need to fix my front cab mount so i figured this would be a good time to take the fenders off so i have more room.

no, zero rot/rust. i was really surprised to find one that clean. i was a little bummed on the tweaks in it but there not that bad and for the price and lack of rust i couldn't say no.

little update. just so y'all can see what i am trying to fix here.

as you saw i have a good core support, i need to get a cab mount and maybe two front fenders. there not totally rotted but might need more work then its worth.

here is the rot on the core support and fenders.

Gonna have some upside down welding fun?

Yeah I'm not really looking forward to the cab mount. I have done several of them on other trucks but I got paid for those.

The worst part is all this stuff is going to make the truck slower with all the extra metal.
