That would be my guess. It took me FOREVER to get my back fleetside bumper aligned with a new bumper/brackets. Fitting around the NLE tank and porterbuilt rear frame brace didn't help either. |

I NAPA Rust Treated the driver side grill bracket and primed and top coated the passenger side one. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I finally got around to working on some 5 lug donor parts. It's a long term low budget project... :-/
I added new gear lube to my, wire brushed off the rust, and then brushed on some of Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator. Ordering the new drums and hardware next month and then some new rubber for the 6.5" Van Rallys I scored the month after.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I wish my laptop would upload pics but with dad's help, I drilled out the 8 rivets holding my driver's side grill bracket and removed that side's hood bumper. I also painted one of the replacement grill brackets I'll go back with.
I settled on a NOS cowl I hope to pick up soon and found out from a forum member how the 1972 grill should look around the headlights. I also cleaned out the ERR tank for a run on the old grill brackets tomorrow. |

Drove mine out for a relaxing trip, around 200 miles.
The technology still gets me around today. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
One thing led to another, took fenders off to adjust doors, new body and radiator support mounts, clean engine compartment and fix oil leaks. Powder coated a bunch of parts, will paint radiator support, frame and motor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Last two days:
Stripped down the front bumper brackets and hardware, and was happy to see everything is super. Thought there might be some rust on the outer brackets I scored off Ebay................. just a really bad paint job. Removed the duct system. Taking notes, cleaning these pieces up and boxing them up nicely is a project in itself. I don't know how some can work so fast. But I'm new. I never really have anything worth a picture. Someday, hopefully in bulk to some extent. Off topic, what, dealerships and even Amazon running at half speed now? WTH, it takes forever to get my orders. Everything is back ordered and/or slow. Caswell and Eastwood couldn't be any slower. Had the week off and was "supposed" to actually finish something. Looking forward to testing out Caswell's cold oxide product. Planning to use it for small hardware parts you don't readily see (e.g, J-nuts, tiny screws). Ordered the sealer, which many folks say don't. You do have to seal it, and I figure it's their product line. $17 for a qt. will go a long way.
