    first thing i did was rip the old wood out of the bed and replace all the breake lines and breaks, the rear drums were shot. Also found out it already has front disc conversion done:D and got the frame sprayed and under cab

    purchased some paint stripper from a local lowes for the bumpers, grill and dash bezel it worked great better than what anticipated thumbs up for lowes. i also purchased some high gloss anamel spray paint i went for the almond/off white in color and some primer sealer i prefer duplicolor in brand

    Looks like a nice, solid truck. I like the red dash, much better than the yellow.
