Project Farm Truck Resurrection (56K Warning)
A buddy of mine brought me his truck that he's wanting to sell. It's been a farm truck for the last 3 years that he's had it. I know it's never been hand washed or waxed in the time that he has had it.
If it was just some random person I'd have turned it down but he gives me pretty much free reign of his land during dove and pheasant season so I told him I'd work it over. He just said "Do your thing. It's yours till it's done." lol

Far from perfect. I'm not able to make a silk purse out of a sows ear like some of you can but I was pleasantly pleased with the outcome.

I'll try to group them in befores and afters.

Looks Great, but why didn't you clean off the pedals?

Kinda goofy I know but it's a personal policy that I don't touch the pedals. I offer supplies for the owner to clean them but I don't want to be held accountable for someone's foot slipping off a clean pedal. Same reason I don't do anything but wipe dirt off the steering wheel. Most people take it at face value and actually appreciate me looking after their safety.

Worked on it off and on for about a week but was teaching and hunting too during that week.

You didn't clean it, you stole a truck that looked like the clean original!
