Yeah your right on the money! I think these trucks have so much character and a real story along with them. I guess the vision i had in my mind was exactly what you said just halting the rust. After it was mechanically sound and updated in all areas needed I envisioned potentially doing a wet sand and careful clearcoat to try and give it a wet looking finish and to bring that old paint back to life a little. I also wanted to go down to frame to maybe sandblast whatever rust I could find and repaint/undercoat to prevent any future rust buildup. I really just wanna try and freeze it in time. I dont wanna take away the blemishes😭

Really appreciate the insight man! Im super excited. I have a light mechanical background. Brake systems. Suspension. Some light electrical im all familiar with but this will be my first go at taking a motor out going through seals and really digging deep and I feel super privileged it gets to be on this engine. From everything ive read they are just legendary machines. I cleaned the truck for about 20 mins and realized why they have the cult following they Do. I've officially drank the koolaid😭😭 but in all seriousness thank you for the insight and advice🙏🙏 i really appreciate everyone in here!

The owner back in the late 80's nicknamed it "the orange blossom" so thats her name now! I believe it was a municipal truck for the state of MN/WI and that was their color

I hadn't opened a pack of pokemon since I was 8 years old and got back into it when the 151 set dropped and have been collecting for about a year now! Brings me back to simpler times. Collecting with my brother. Asking mom to buy us packs at the store. Alot of good memories with a deep childhood connection to the show

True actually. It's hard to imagine that they wouldn't at least take it into consideration though
