The truck got another good cleaning and that's where I left off. I've been out of town the majority of the time since then.

It's a good honest truck that I can drive in the warmer months and not worry about hurting the value of it. Yeah, it's a real SS and it's fairly solid, but it's no cream puff and will never be highly valued like the nice, original, low-mile ones. I plan to change out most of the body panels and I don't feel bad because of it. The left fender is aftermarket, the right fender has some little rust bubbles, the hood has been replaced and is full of bondo. I believe the right door has bondo in the bottom of it. The bed is original to the truck, but the left arch needs replaced and the right bedside has been replaced at some point. They didn't do a real bad job, but I would have done it better.
But anyway, I now have two nice fenders, a nice hood and a nice right door to use and they are factory black parts. I hope to find a nice factory black bed to use instead. Then I only have to sand the weird textured paint off of the cab, left door and tailgate, and I won't have to take the time to cut it all in with black paint. The goal is to improve the truck, all while being able to drive it and not end up embarking on a long and drawn out project. I've got too many of those already.
