So far I have painted the fenders and bed, replaced the missing headlight bezel and the broken and black painted grilles, plus I repainted the rear bumper silver. Still waiting for my new mirrors!

Re: Ohio '70 F250 - Gettin' There
Hey thanks! I plan to keep upgrading the truck as I go, while occasionally using it for hauling engines, lumber, trees, stuff like that. I will probably complete the 2-tone paint in the spring if I can match the green. This weekend I hope to look at a supposedly rust-free set of doors as I would like to replace at least the driver's side due to rust. Just received my eBay west coast mirrors today too!Caseys71 wrote:

Re: Ohio '70 F250 - Gettin' There
Inside the bed was a real mess. It was a combination of original paint, surface rust, primer and some sort of textured stuff which may have been a DIY bedliner kit, but about half of it had peeled off from the floor and wheel wells. After much scraping and blasting with compressed air I repainted the bed using black POR15. I know it's only as durable as what's underneath but at least for now it's all one color!
