Post Re: Working Your Old Truck

Some don't , looking at the yards of perfect paint & shiny chrome , I see why not .

Me , I'll use it for work until I'm dead .

To - morrow morning I'll drive it to Lake Forest and interview another Body Shop , the guy says he'll be pleased to work on it , I hope I can afford it ~ I'd like to do a body off frame de rust and re paint complete , then I can stop worrying about the rust and concentrate on scratching up the new paint.... .

All the young guys here think it's waste , rebuilding it back to a base model , plain jane work truck with painted bumpers but that's what I want .

Most of the older guys and all the Mexicans , think it's a great idea , I help them with their old GM Trucks whenever I can .

Re: Working Your Old Truck

The bed of my truck is dented from decades of being a work truck, I'm not replacing the floor! I plan on rhino lining right over the dented floor

When I was looking for my project truck I wanted something just nice enough to drive, but not so nice that I would be scared to throw a motorcycle in. Of course when it comes time to make a dump run...... well, I'll just hook up the trailer for that one.
