Jakes First Truck/ Restoration
My and my uncle are working on my first truck a 1971 chevy cheyenne longbed. It has bad rust problems but we are replacing all the parts and making it nice. I also some parts for sale that i dont need like the tailgate moldings and a gas tank that sits behind the seat. I will be putting up pictures of these items as well as the truck restoration!!!

Keep cutting and welding! What should I do? Keep the trim or weld up the holes?
