As she arrived, My 05 pulling an ancestor!!
Few shots of the exterior rust. Or should i say rot! But i love a challenge!!!
Look at those lovely rotted out sills!!! Got a lot of welding in the future!!
And check this bed out. Rotted at the rear near the tailgate. And the braces under are rotted...it just lifted off the truck!
So pulled the bumper, then the bed off to weld new braces in with it off the truck as well as access to the cab corners. (Pics to come)
