I just wanted to share a good news story.

Decided to go for a new windsheild today, I was a little nervous about what I was going to uncover after 35 yrs. I know the truck was repainted once.

The glass guys called after they removed the original glass and said I might want to fix the rust, I walked up the street kinda nervous and almost crapped when I only found surface rust,no rot thru,no bubbling,no seam spreading

Boy was I happy!! Brought it back to the shop did some wire brushing and painted it all with por15, and redid the dash. The window frame will now outlast me

Time for beer and burgers, everyone have great memorial day, especially those of you who may have or still do serve THANK YOU!!!!

Enjoy your Memorial Day, your a lucky man no rust to speak of..... J.
