buoymaker, this is a Panel Truck. I can see what rust I have . front floor boards ate out, toe boards rusted,strip across the windshield inside the cab is rusted on the drivers side.inner and outer cowl will be replaced along with the floor boards and Im going to get the firewall panel and replace it also.And the piece inside the cab above the windshield I will replace. dash is good .someone had a ladder rack on this truck when they had their Electrical business and when they took it off and parked the truck they must of tried to cover over the holes with maybe some type of caulking and it wore off or didnt stick very long and water got down inside and I believe thats what caused the floor boards to rust out and the piece of metal along the top of the windshield inside the truck to rust out also. I have to replace the kick panel area metal also. Ive got alot of welding and replacing panels in my near future,but I love what im working on and that makes all the difference. I will be posting pics. along the way of these areas.
