Nice thread fellow truck owner. I have to admit you have a lot of rust on that baby, but you do good work.. I would like to know what you used to paint the front end with, i want to use under coating but do not want that rubber stuff but a nice paint. I want to use your shop as well, I am outside under a car port but it works.

Well got some work done today i got going on the passenger side floor pan. The door jam has some rust like the drivers side did and it was covered up. The PO welded the floor patch in from under the truck as well as on top, i ended up torching out most of the patch and that was a pain. Here are a few pics and new wheels 20x8 dodge spares. The cab forward will be completed by the end of summer.(hopefully)LOL PICS

c series ( i think the one wicked has and a much easier one to work with since the carb sits the right way.)
