The story
Bought it from an Ohio resident so she's got some chassis rot (underbelly surface rust) I had to take care of. A quick trip to the blaster and a cote of POR-15 and it's BETTER than it was when it rolled off the line.
4" Rough country lift, 3.5" JRS rear springs
[update:11/17/04]
Chassis rot fixed...sprayed the entire underneith with POR-15 (www.por-15.com) and took rust out of the equation. Underside is too damn purty to EVER see mud now.
Fixed the rust blistered wheel openings with POR-15 and body filler then covered with Durabak bed liner.
Fixed hood chips and peeling paint with POR 15 and Durabak bed liner — Troy
