Down the rabbit hole: first build

Nice work. I sympathize with your rust issues. i bet it's going to rise real nice after that!

Wow... all of that bolt corrosion is epic!

I guess we don't see a lot of that down here in Florida.

As a Florida native I agree. This truck came from Virginia, supposedly from a mechanic who took care of it. I now have a LOT more knowledge on what to look for as problem areas. The body was straight with little to no corrosion, and frame looked great. But peeling back the layers told a different story.
