Ok so I finally have my deuce mostly primer. I power washed it a whole lot and treated it with phosphate etch . Ive spent about $50 on rustoleum red oxide primer so far (one gallon and like 4 cans). I figured it is cheaper then the custom paint, and Ill need less paint painting over a smooth...
RUST not to bad but gonna need to be cut and patched in the near future. Just gonna get it on the road for now with good paint. Just the front cab corners on each side. And the passenger side door is pretty bad. A lot of bondo and galvinized rivited on. Nice job NJ national guard :doh:

Thanks
