A pick up with a few scarpes and dings I can deal with, but a rust bucket I can't stand! HAHA!
Yea I have some rust on the roof, need to sand it down an prime/paint it.

I'll be getting my new pin stripe put on today, will post up a few pics when it's done! Also decided to remove the factory 4x4 Off Road decals and replace them with something I liked better... I ordered them, and they should be here tomorrow... I'll post up pics of that as well

LMAO! I know... But I'm waiting because my friend thinks he has a pair kicking around his body shop that are practically new and I wouldn't have to pay for them! He even thinks he scored me a free tailgate off a newer truck (white even!) where the Ford oval is centered instead of off to the side (which is good when you're OCD like me and have to have symmetry) Plus he's gonna help me cover the hole in the fender when I remove the antenna and install a glass mount one... (same thing, the antenna sets off to one side, not symmetrical!)

oooohh... And I need to go to a wrecking yard and pick up a cheap instrument cluster... I have a new idea and I don't want to experiment on my cluster.... If it works I'll definitely post a how-to on it with pictures! It's an idea I've had for years to customize an instrument cluster, and I think I've finally figured out how to do it! And no, no hints! HEHE! I want to make sure no one beats me to it! I don't mind if others copy the idea, but I want to be the first, LMAO!
