Not bad. The rust in the pics does not look all that bad. just hard surface rust maybe. Take a couple of hours, buy new weatherstripping, sand and IMO put bedliner along the bottom. Spray on or roll on.

Hopefully the paintjob isn't hiding bondo over rust in the rockers and the other usual rust spots. If it's solid, you did OK - looks good.

[motornut]

Looks like a Truck Avenger, the list (model) number should be on the front of the Choke horn. ( you can see them there in the first pic. )
