Well Rufus comes home tonight. 1 rad support, 2 rocker panels, southern no rust bed, 1 vapor recovery line, 1 brake line, 1 caliper and some new paint. Still need to do some undercoating. It will be good to have truck back.

Rusty, LOL. That's an idea, however don't think I would be allowed. Kids name him 10 years ago. Anyways rust is gone now.
Do wish could have repainted entire truck, just painted parts that were replaced. But there was only so much money for this project.
