    So what tricks are you talking about for the rust not to come back? I was just going to have the guy who restored my Dad's cars weld some small patches in for the "bad" spots, and grind/fill/spray where the paint is starting to bubble. The truck sits out during the summer months, and inside during the winter.

    I hear ya about the 5.0 - it isn't enough for this size truck. A basic 351 stroked to 408 would be a nice upgrade someday...

    Thanks Scott!

    And Paxton, the rust is simple. Remove the inner part of the fenders. The fenders are double walled, and hold EVERYTHING, the fronts rust out because the drain for the cowl is right there, so all the leaves and crap that somehow manage to get into the cowl (my 96's were packed full of crap) all drains there and rots.

    The Bedsides are also double walled, remove that inner fender, brace the bedside, no more rot!

    And the 351 in my 96 is horribly underpowered LOL a 408 is a minimum for these trucks IMO.
