Well I've told some of you but for the rest wondering WTF is in my sig I'll get you all up to date....
I decided that after almost having it a year I should finally fix the busted rear leaf springs & rotted out hanger on the drivers side. The bed is rather rusted out on the sides & floor is getting bad so I plan on scrapping it & going to a flatbed. Over the course of about 3 weeks I have done all this work by myself.
To start things off I started stripping off the basic parts like toolbox, stacks, then the bed.

As most of you may know we use a chit load of salt up here every winter. Well the last owner never really washed it & 13 years had taken a toll on the old gal. as you can see from these pics it had a bad case of the steel flaking. So I took a wire wheel to it & crear off the loose stuff & sat there with a hammer & chissle & a 4.5" angle grinder with a multi flap sanding wheel to help clean it up. Threw on a few coats of primer then some paint. To make things fun I was fighting on & off rain & humidity.
