Ya that big bumper needs to be shaved. As for the salt, it was a fire truck all its life, so it was always washed after it was taken out. So it was very little rust on it. I did notice that the drivers door "top" hinge is a little buggered. That and the seat are about the worst of it.
Basically I will get her mechanically sound, build my flat deck, mount my equipment, take off the old fire dept logo and get a new one painted on....made to look old. Might just leave the body and paint, or do it at a later time......this truck will actually be used as a work truck, like it was orgionally intended for. I can't wait!
