Fresh resale paint over rust.

Inch thick bondo (which from the outside LOOKED really good) on both cab corners, underneath that, there was the thinnest metal screwed to good metal to act as the base for the bondo to stick on.

the 3OTT sifter collar (the top support on the column... can't think of the name) had been stripped, so the PO decided to put a screw through it to tighten it against the shifter column

He put new brakes on the rear, probably because he noticed it wasn't braking well. Well he never bled them or checked them cause the brakes are still brand new... The rear flex-brake line from the frame to the axle lines was 100% clogged so no pressure ever activated the rear brakes (good for me I suppose!).

And lets not talk about the wiring... I'm still working on that.


Its been quite the project, and this was my first one... so inexperience missed some of this stuff that would have been used to negotiate a better price... but oh well.
