Re: Restoring Rusty
I plan on building racks similar to your so I can haul 20' lengths of steel. I will likely have an extension over the cab.
However, I would place the cross bar lower, so the posts stick up above the cross bar to help keep things UP and not fall down. Gives you something to tie stuff against. For Kayaks, though, it probably doesn't matter.

Re: Restoring Rusty
found some rust under the doors, which was expected, fortunately its just surface rust
so a short dance with the wire wheel followed by a paper towel acid bath and we will be ready for primer in no time P.S. got a call from my buddy Lucifer he asked if I wanted to come down to his place to cool off today, (day 2 of over 100° F streak) |

Re: Restoring Rusty
in the front I use the holes in the purches to hold the tie downs, in the rear I had to bolt back up the hooks I removed when I first got the truck, lol, but this time I mounted them underneath, these are temporary and will do for now, ie this trip

Re: Restoring Rusty
now back to the door hinges, here they are off the truck, I wasn't going to let one missing bushing prevent me from taking these pics after it went missing, of course I found it as soon as the pics were taken, ha ha
I can't believe how I loose things all the time, its as if there was someone hiding in my garage just pranking me all the time |

Re: Restoring Rusty
and wouldn't you know it, the door still sags as it did before, so once I again I fixed things not needin' fixin, I recon my old bushes was fine, it was just hinges that needed proper adjusting - and still do, I bet the fender needs to come off for that type of action, fun level = 2

Re: Restoring Rusty
I say leave the one stripe and don't do another lol. Also if you want to save your doors spray some lubrication oil down the insides.
The doors normally rust from inside out because of bad window seals at the top. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I will likely be shunned from Gregskis build and the forum for all eternity for posting these pictures of my daily driver but I will risk it we are like brothers Gregski!
