Old77's '98 ECSB 4x4

Well it's a darn good thing you had it fixed if it's that bad. Don't want that crap getting away from you.

exactly my thoughts!! If I'd waited much longer who knows what the cost would have been or if it would have been repairable. I know it was significant but apparently it was even worse. I'll be happy to have it back and having it 100% rust free next week. Then the modding can commence

My eBay watch list is becoming rather lengthy by now

Mine is several pages long as well. Mod money for the next couple months went to brake parts.

It oughta be good for another 15-20 years or maybe even permanent after this repair. Worth the fix now in the long run. Just be patient. Remember, never rush a body shop or you end up with **** work. I can't imagine going weeks waiting on my new toy. That must be worse than when you were a kid waiting on Christmas morning.

 

[Old77]

Yeah I've only called them this one time and I made sure to be super polite it is definitely worth the investment but a really hard wait at the same time I'm very anxious

Got my truck back today. What was done was fixing rust on the roof and the undersides of the doors as well as demolding and respraying the tailgate. It's a good thing I did the roof because as it turns out it was alot worse than what it first appeared

On to the crappy pics. When it warms up I'll get some better pics taken

Lookin good man! Get rid of those ****** tail lights already sheesh!

 

[Old77]

new tails are set to arrive by Wednesday. I've never seen any as bad as what I have now. They are terrible! LOL

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Mine are worse.

 

[Old77]

Mine are so bad they're actually kinda spongy. Have no idea what the previous owners did but holy crap LOL

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Mine are worse than that. I'm afraid to touch them as they might shatter.

It appears to have turned out pretty nice. So it's all rust free now huh?

Let the paint cure for a couple weeks or even a bit longer, then plan on a good coat of wax this spring.

 

[Old77]

yep, 100% rust free now so she should be good to go for a long time now. Apparently that roof was a lot worse than it appeared at first so it's good that I went ahead and took care of it now! They did a great job. In the spring I also plan on undercoating the underside with POR15
