That's a good looking truck you've got now! How much did that cost you? I have a 1985 that I picked up cheap with a lot of similar rust damage and have been a bit hesitant on doing any of the rust work myself, I'd appreciate it if you could PM me with some tips!

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to put some anti-seize on them!

A buddy recently acquired a vinyl cutter and started making vinyl decals - so obviously I wanted one for my tailgate.

Finally got my eddie bauer steps painted to match and then mounted them. Couldn't be happier with the result.
