I think that one goes in the WTF? thread...... Sorry to hear it.

My truck is RUSTY. Around the wheel openings on the bed, rocker panels are pretty much gone, drivers door was more rust than metal. (Was... because I replaced it.) Passenger door isn't too far behind.

I am hoping to find a good cab, without rust.... (I already have another good set of doors) and do a body swap at some point.

mine is starting in on cancer...pretty much just the doors and a few light tiny patches on the bed...nothing rusted through...just light surface stuff.


anyway..what I did to my truck (yesterday...it's always yesterday...I don't post after I work on my truck I drive it!)

replaced the other hydroboost line cause it started leaking all over the place... so now I have two new hydroboost lines. hell if I replace two more lines (low pressure lines) then they will all be brand new!

Well that sucks. I hope it's recovered undamaged.

That sucks, too. But it's a good excuse for a road trip to the Southwest where desert dwelling vehicles don't rust.

i love my rust. makes the truck look like shiat, but under the hood is a powerful beast, waiting to unleash on the next unexpected soul.
Theres 3 spots on my truck that are rusty as all get out. First is the back bumper, its just terrible... I actually pulled it and started grinding it off before the rust ate through the metal. Second is under all the stainless, but everyone probably guessed that! Im not speaking about the 3rd spot, its the reason I don't take many pics from the driver side!

The 4" Lift I purchased for my '77 finally came in, hopefully I'll get it installed today. Also got a few quotes for some 37x14.50 Toyos for the '95. Cheapest set of 5 I've found was $1,795 at my local 4x4 shop, $359 per tire. We'll see what happens.
