Thanks for the input! Yes, the truck came from Forney and originally from Nebraska. I purchased it after the guy who won the ebay auction flaked out. I have been most impressed with the lack of rust. It was tempting to leave it original and drive like it is but thought the grey primer is not original so here I go with a restoration.

Some wood rot about like flat-V8's photo and seems an interesting solution since I really don't want to remove the rivets - can the rivets can be duplicated?

Is POR 15 a long term solution for the frame? I assume leaf springs etc can be left in place with this treatment? I am going to power wash the frame and see what the existing paint looks like. I have a guy available to sand blast it.

Anyone know of a quality body shop/painter in Houston area? Some minor metal work is needed.

I am having hard time attaching more pics. Maybe the files are too large?

Thanks for the welcome to the brotherhood! I am hooked.
