Still waiting on parts but I'll throw a few new pics up. I got the front cleaned up a lot but I will say, there is definitely a rust issue with these trucks. I had no major rot in the front but all of the remaining paint had a layer of rust underneath it and just flaked off. I really want to keep this truck long term as a toy so I expect to have to strip it to the frame and have it cleaned and powdercoated within the next 5 years. What I am doing now is realistically only a band-aid. Although for that cost a new frame is only a little over $4,000.

Anyhow, I put in one of the front shocks and I did get in the brackets for the rear frame. Hopefully I'll see the UPS guy on Monday for the rest. Also I picked up a spring rebuild kit for the drum brakes. A whopping $12 but what a great little kit.
