while the bed was off, this crack repair (by the PO, NOT my welds) in the back of the cab was starting to flake paint and look crusty. cleaned, painted, seam sealed, good enough to last to the next restoration.
frame got a 2nd pressure washing, should be clean enough to paint now. not going crazy with prep or cleaning or sealing, just general aerosol-overhaul to maintain longer.
new Fleece sending unit is perfect, gauge works, all new fuel lines, ready to go. feels nice ditching all the factory plastic lines with cobbled attachments, dry rotted aftermarket lines, extra rubber lines from other BS, etc.
