It is kind of ending up to be a frame off restoration.. sort of!

I am going down there tomorrow to clean up the rear frame and paint it black.. at least the parts that are hard to get to with the bed on. We painted the front part back over Labor Day. Too bad I am not getting the bed painted now, it is going to look ugly until I get the liner sprayed in.

I doubt anyone would want to go through the work to try to repossess the cab.

True, and none of the bolts holding it on are rusted tight. I had better put a guard on it.

I am off to paint the rear frame.
