Rust is a killer around this area. But this truck is actually very clean for its age and millage. And it has been in this state since it was new.

The topper might still be useful for me every now and then. So for now I am going to hold on to it, may sell it at a later time though.

I was really happy with how the fenders turned out. The front passenger one was the first to get trimmed. After I removed all of the rust on that fender there was not much left. So I think I will end up replacing that one later on this year and trim it to match the drivers side. I am happy with both the rears though. I just need to replace some of the sheet metal back there.

I knew from the start that I wanted black steel rims. There are some very nice looking aluminum rims out there too. But for the price its hard to beat the steel rims.

The paint still looks good where the decals used to be. But along both bed sides all of the clear coat was worn off from leaning up against it. So now I have some glossy ghost strips down the sides of my bed <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Though its not to bad, I might try to buff it out once the weather warms up.

And rbranch you nailed it, Im out in White Bear Lake. I live a little over a mile from the lake
