Haha, mine is nowhere near that bad! Small surface rust that I'm gonna be fixing. But my old explorer...that's a different story....

Lol yeah, my current is only very small surface stuff. My old 81 had fender holes, a floor hole, big enough for my foot to go through and needed new doors. Not to mention everything under the body was held together by rust bleh

Looking at replacing my front bumper and brackets at the same time I bedline/fix the rust. About 6 months ago I got in a minor fender bender and my bumper has a decent sized dent and is shifted slightly towards the passenger side and upwards. Now the question is.... Diesel bumper or another normal k1500 one?

For now I think I will postpone the bumper. Next question is; to debadge or not to debadge?

I'm torn between de badging and getting different Silverado/1500 emblems or leaving the trim and keeping the factory gold emblems. Remember that I will be bedlining my rockers in just over a week.

What are y'alls thoughts?

Got a bit of a start today. Running boards removed, molding pulled off, plastidip mostly removed, and started removing the adhesive from the molding. Also started sanding my rockers a little as well.
