It is going to be a job getting to that rust, but I would do whatever it takes to get totally rid of it and some nuetralizer on there first thing, it will only get worse.

Also curious what value number you would place on the truck in it's current condition
What do you think it would take to get that Cummins up to 500-550hp? I wouldn't think a whole lot starting with a 400?BigBob410, Tug Toy, BigCam9670 and 3 others Thank this. -
@OLDSKOOLERnWV is the man to give advice on that BC. -
The roof cap is not what I was talking about, I am talking wher ethe rust is jacking the frame under the fifth wheel frame.
That will just get worse, and worse.Intothesunset Thanks this. -

If your plans include stretching it, no big deal, I would find a parts truck with a clean rear section and cut out where the jacking is at completely, or jus have rails built long enough. I myself like the parts truck though, you would be able to choose what suspension and go with some late model much improved rears easy that way.
Dino soar and Intothesunset Thank this. -
If that is an 83, I think the rears have already been upgraded, I do not thing it would have come with 402s in it.
