Since this isn't an emergency, I'll be patient then. The frame is heavily pitted in some isolated areas, and I could probably repair it there if necessary, but it seems like a clean frame would be a good place to start. This will never be a perfect, show quality restoration. I'm not the type. The picture was taken almost ten years ago, when I had great intentions of doing an awesome restoration. But I liked the truck too much so I ended up driving it into the ground. The 350/4spd/205 combo with 3.07 gears got 17-18 mpg and was about the best all-around vehicle I have ever owned. I would like to go back to that, without the body rust I won't show you any pictures of.

Thanks for the info and keep it coming.
