1st Gen Owner

Hey there folks! I've owned my 2006 DC only since 2020 but thought I'd finally go back and join enthusiasts the old fashion way...forums. A lot has happened in the first 2 years of owning my rust bucket but a little summary is I bought a beautiful truck uptop, half dead underneath. Had no previous experience or knowledge of any kind on trucks. Pictures will tell you how fast I needed to learn. I also found I had a passion for electricity.

Hope people still do forums over Facebook Groups. See ya around!

 

Wow, those pics went from horror show to breathe deep. Was the rust dealt with or brushed and covered?

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Impressive save!

 

Most likely dealt with but we will see how long it last as it should of fell off the jack stands months ago had I not done a thing. I reviewed my work several times and found many mistakes and had to repeatedly start over. 90% of the work was just scraping, degreasing, cleaning. Had to chip off a bit of rustoleum from every section during the painting process to double check if it was rotting faster or if zinc slowed it down. Seems to be working.

 

Awesome. Way to get at it.

 

Wow, This just goes to show you the lengths people will go to fix up their truck. Glad you found us.
