The last 6 photos are the most recent. However, I made them with my cheap phone, and I cannot figure out how to make them larger.
Oh yes, click on my photobucket below and go to page 2.
It is hard to see detail with the photos so small.
Guess I will have to go back to using the wife's camera.
Next is the doors. Hope to have them on next time. Gonna need new vent glass and weatherstripping and rebuild the hinges.

Looks like your making some good progress, Are you replacing the rusted sections, or treating and covering?

That is what is taking so long to see much progress. I am cutting out and welding in sections. Mostly small places, but still time consuming.
Also had to completely replace the area at the rear cab supports.
Amazing there was no rust in the floorboard. It still has the little posts for the floor mat to hook over.

Thanks to all. It is not meant to be a show truck. Just want everything working like it should, and be useable around the farm. Also want it to look decent.
I have plans for some 12 ft. ramps to haul my tractors on it. I already have a 12000 lb. electric winch that I may mount in the front of the bed.
