Default 1992 W350 Rebuild

I'm rebuilding my 1992 Dodge Ram W350 5-Speed Cab-Chassis. I bought this truck about 10 months ago and I paid $1,200 for it, the transmission was out but it ran and only has 140,000 origanal miles on it and 6 new all-terrain tires, So I think it was a good buy. The entire wire harness was melted under the hood and partly in the dash. I pulled it out and re-wired the entire harness and after a month of workin on it got everything right and fixed. I replaced every bit of the A/C and put a new Alternator, Turn Signal Switch, Battery, Battery Terminal Connectors, Rebuilt the Trans, and sent the ECM off and had it rebuilt and did a few other things. I've got about 7 hours of work in the picks you see up now got the Hood, Fenders, Grille, Bumper, Doors, Seat, Carpet, and got the doors stripped down ready to sand and paint. Tonight I'm taking the bed off and going to finish stripping the cab and start sand on it and when I'm done I'm repainting the truck White and repainting the frame and redoing the interior black with rubber floors and replacing shocks, leafs, tie rod ends, ball joints, re-packing bearings, bleeding brakes and new drums, rotors, calipers, and pads along with new mirrors, grille, lights, and door handles and tons of other little stuff i'll keep yall posted as i go just wantin to share this with yall!

I'm using a set of aftermarket fenders on mine, paid $180 for the set. Holes were a wee bit off, only had to pry one or two into place. I know I went thru 4 or 5 cans of rubberized undercoating on the inside of them before I put them on. Said they were primed with PPG but I didn't want to take a chance with cheap metal. It'd **** me off to no end for them to rot out in a year. Still no rust what kinda shape were your inner fenders in? I couldn't find replacements for the life of me with mine. I wound up sand blasting them and putting a nice coat of tiger hair over it, went heavy on the enamel and plenty of chip guard .
