Could be....How they look? Rusty?
Pics?

I can get pics next weekend.They look decent but the truck has been parked about 15 years so a trip to a sandblaster is likely needed.Tires are still up so they haven't been sitting in dirt.

Well, i was going to just do a quick cleanup and rattle can the inner fenders and rad support, but... Decided to go a little futher. The front side of the support also needs to be done so I'm going to POR it all..

Caps off now to...

It's kind of funny Scott, it's like you had all this energy that built up during the whole transportation drama, and now its spilling out

You're doing a great job!

Man I still can't believe how nice the paint looks since you cleaned it up!

Nice work.

It looks much better without the camper top.

Great work!!! I agree that without the camper it looks cleaner. The polish job is great too. Ryan and I fell in love with that truck the first time we saw it. We figured it had a lot of hidden potential, but what you have done is amazing. I thought Ryan was pretty hardcore when it came to getting work done but you are showing him up!!!

Any idea why it has the 4WD core support?

Keep up the good work!

I like the warranty on the rad from Advance. I think I'd go with that one.

The NPD rads are made by Modine and have there "Gold Card" limited lifetime warranty..
If I go with Advanced, $27 plus I pay tax. If I go NPD and spend $300 (which wouldn't be to hard to do) I get free shipping and no tax

The pine trees are dropping pollen now and there's been a good breeze blowing the past couple day's so I had to rig up some kind of booth to paint in.. So..

Did a great job of keeping the flying debris out and the rain we had over night..
Gave the brushed coat a quick sanding, taped it up and sprayed it today.

So after the dry time today and over night, I figure it should be pretty hard by the time I get back from breakfast in the morning and will probably drop the engine back in...

I really need to get that lime and fertilizer spread

Priorities

Engines back in, most on the stuff went back on but got to dark for pics.

you should also polish the trim and i noticed the black is faded away on the the bump trim, you should repaint that
