Thanks guys!
I finished the passenger side and now have 9 cans left. I have to paint the hood, grille, front bumper, and roof. I stopped because after 13 cans paint fumes got to me since I'm a dumbass that wasn't wearing a respirator. If you plan on using plastidip at all, please use a mask! I'm usually a rebel to safety suggestions but this is one I recommend.
I'll finish it soon, probably this weekend. So far I really like it. Easy to paint, also has good texture. It took forever to paint though. Having a second set of hands would have been nice!
As far as prep work, all I did was hose the truck down and use a towel to remove the droplets. So in other words, half ass. But all the dirt and dust was cleaned off and that's all that matters! I spent a good portion of time masking the windows too.

The dent in the cab is super noticeable, but I don't really care it's a beater truck that receives too much love! I can say all of my scratches disappeared though!

It's starting to come along, I've been eying a CUCV radio antenna mount for the side of the bed and the light thing that goes in the grille. That'll be there for looks, and the radio mount will be for a CB antenna. I really need black rims now too. The rust looks like garbage.
Side note, typically in Cali we never ever see trucks with rust like you guys on the east coast, however I found out today that Truckee/Tahoe over here apperently use salt which makes sense why my truck has rust since it lived there for most of its life.
More to come for my CUCV II inspired truck!
