Cleaned up pretty good and hopefully not missing much paint. It seems to be a problem for trucks of that time frame. Paint falling off.
There is a bit of rust on cab corners and rear wheel wells. Most of the paint is actually worn off as opposed to falling off. It's almost a beautiful match to my fury. Hopefully I can buy it from my Incle one day lol.

I'm in he process of figuring out the vacuum lines and I've been stumped.(easy to do) Can anybody tell me what this part is. I can't find it in the vacuum diagram. It's got 2 ports in the front and one in there rear. Thanks!

Where do the hoses run to?
One from the egr amplifier and 2 to the carb.

Where do they go to on the carb? Check and see when it gets vacuum from the egr and if it closes or opens the vacuum ports to the carb. Quite possible its vacuum source is the carb and opens or closes the egr and what ever the other hose goes to on the carb.
Some times you just have to play with things to see how they function.

Stuff an intertube behind that dent and inflate the most of it should come out. Just don't go overboard with the air pressure.
That's a damn good idea!! Can't believe I didn't think of that years ago lol. Much appreciated!!
That's on the list for tomorrow. I found the correct vacuum diagram for it . I'm gonna rip em all off and start over. Honestly I don't even know if the egr is working. It's been sitn for 7+yrs...
Had a thought guys(uh-O) These interceptor wheels have got some finish issues.
Me being me Id love sand blast them and have them powder coated . But it's not in my uncles budget. Sooo I was thinking about blasting the rust,scuffing the remaining paint and using (white) stove paint. Supposed to be durable and handle heat well. I think they'll look pretty good white! What do you think about the stove paint for covering?

It's not a bad idea. Just prep the surface good.

Silver wheel paint would look good also. White would match the truck though.
Silver would look good and add another dimension. But the white.....

Get a color chart and pick a contrasting color, maybe a high impact color from 70-71. Paint them pink for breast cancer awareness, sublime or a baby blue, and set it off!

Just kidding about the pink. Maybe a little color would be too much for your uncle, too bad the whitewalls were shot, red rims would have given a nice hot rod vibe.
He'd love that!! Panther pink or plumb crazy lol!!.....plumb crazy....do they make plumb crazy in an appliance pant??

I'm sure they could custom mix a color at a paint store.
