been slowly working on disassembly and cleanup. hard to take pics when covered in 51 year old dirt and rust- but here's what I got this weekend. I fully all the bed parts and proceeded to wire wheel all rust. bed rails will be blasted soon as well. I will be undercoating underneath the fenders and the bed rails. after I clean the parts with the wheel I go back by hand with a scotchbrite pad and CLR.
kinda what I started with

cleaning outside of bed panel-going to undercoat the portion covered by the fender also

comparison shot of how the inside of a bed panel looks after scotchbrite and CLR vs before

underside of steps before cleanup- soon to come with afters
I will get some aftershots together real soon.
