I'm finally getting to taking the front end apart on the motorhome. I've got the coach pretty much gutted, and the front sheetmetal on this thing is in dire need of some help; lots of cancer.
The oddity here is that though the front fenders and grille pan are all toast (as you can see from the updated pictures) the cab is in excellent shape! Doors are fair and there's no rust in the floorpan. You can also see in the latest pictures how I had to just about PEEL some of the sheetmetal off of the frame, many of the bolts were just rusty nubs... but an airchisel made short work of most of it. Fortunately, I've already located and purchased a replacement set of front fenders and a grille pan off a '58 Apache from a local wrecking yard.
Eventually I'll make my way down to the engine sitting on the frame, and detail that can of worms waiting to be opened
Boy I thought I'd seen rustbuckets before but this is pretty bad. Unfortunate for being such a low mileage truck. It's just as well though, you won't be able to tell when I'm done with it.
