Yeah I actually wonder what the fate is of this old thing. Not that I plan to sell or anything..We're expecting our second kid! So with my wife working a new full time job, me working full time, spending time with them and working around the house on the usual stuff, I don't know if I'll get to this thing as soon as I'd like. I know you know kids are a handful and very busy. So it might get pieced together here and there after it's a second car. I'm fine with that.
As far as body work, the main stuff so far is that rotten corner, the other bedside wheel arch, hood and passenger side fender. Easy parts to find and kind of cheap. The biggest issue, That I know of, is the firewall and the inside section where the gutter rotted out for the cowl. The usual 1st gen problem. I also worry about the little spots here and there on my fire wall and I worry about the area around the brakebooster since it feels a little soft. I'm sure you've seen that post someone put up a few years ago where their foot went with the booster when the firewall ripped out of it due to rust. So yeah, The cab will come off and lots of welding and patching will be done. Some idiot before me just seam sealed all of that. Once again, the previous owner struck.
I plan to dig into it a bit more but if it's too far gone, it's too far gone. I already had to deal with a hole in the frame and the cab has many, many bad rust spots.
Rotten or not, I'm still not disappointed in a $1,200 truck I bought 5 years ago that's sitting in my works parking lot as we speak, diligently doing it's duty.
