I did get a few parts in primer. Spent days removing old paint and under-coating.
Was surprised how much work I still have to do to get them ready for paint.
At least I don't have to worry about the rusting.
I've been spending days stripping the cab and welding the seems inside of it. Hope to get it in primer soon.

Kim, I remember you were looking for a replacement rear fender. How did that come out, did you get a new aftermarket one?

I bit the bullet and bought a new one.
It seems to be a real nice piece even though it is a tad thinner than the original.

Just a few pics of the seems inside the cab welded up.
Still lots of work to finish them off.
