Cleaned up the back of the cab today. No idea how that metal got pitted, but since it's a straight and mostly flat surface I should be able to even it out fairly well with some filler. If you look on the lower right you can see a little of the blue that is the truck's original color. As I worked on this area I liked the look that was emerging, so I kept going...
I guess I got tired of looking at all the primer, so I ratted things out a little. There are a few small bare metal spots that I need to spray over just to keep the rust away, but this is mostly how it will look until I can afford a real paint job some day... My brother put the red door on when he had the truck, to replace the original that had rusted out at the hinges...
Found some old filler around the right headlight, indicating some really old collision repair. Whoever did the work did an excellent job, because you could never tell from looking at it. But you can see underneath where the bent metal had been straightened...
