So here are some before pictures, when I first purchased it. I bought is for 2500 with plow. I have another 3,000 in it so far with parts, materials labor, etc. I have some good after pictures coming soon with the box buil. It is really coming along and runs great thus far. Still a beater : )

That's a good women there! Way to many people don't include rust prevention in their preventative maintenance programs!

Well, that's a Mini, (British car [although now technically part of BMW]) and if you're old enough, I'm sure you've heard of British Undercoating before (everything on the bottom side is protected against rust by the heavy coating of oil from all the leaks.)

It's a pain in my ass! Once I get it up to par, things should work smoothly : )

Just take it one piece at time.. I am sure it beats shoveling chips. What is left on it? Seems like the steel on the bed needs some patching. I think stainless sheet metal with some copper rivets would look nice.

Searching old threads and found yours. How's the truck today @MikePowers321
I like it. I have a little fondness for those OBS fords. I have two myself.

Thanks man. Luckily she is running like a beauty after the initial TLC I had to put into it. I think I got lucky as it has served me well.
