A local body shop has agreed to work on my truck as a side project and just like the Johnny Cash song we'll build it one piece at a time.
They've so far removed the old rotten bedsides and welded (and sealed) on new ones. I sanded the hood and brought that to them with the new fenders and the windshield cowl. They'll be painted in the original Cardinal Red while I prep the body to be painted later. The original paint was a single stage application but this time it will be clearcoated for a longer lasting quality finish.
In the mean time I'll be cleaning up and painting the frame and axle, and installing new leaf springs.
