This picture is of the sheet metal and other parts in the back of the truck. The sheet metal has been primed already.

Everybody calm down too. I had already pulled tie downs off to unload. I had chain on the front, had a 2 inch strap across the middle, and a 2 inch strap on the back. Tractor did not move at all.

Looks kind of naked without the tank and sheet metal on it! What the plan? Putting it back together or using it for pats?

It is a runner. I am going to put it back together and give her some fresh paint. My son and I will take her to a few shows and drives and use her for a little work too. It is a 48 model.

The guy I got it from also gave me the original owners manual too.

I would not trust that red oxide primer. It is what it is, a primer It does not seal the metal from any particulate matter. Since it was applied all manner of stuff can and has passed through it.
To have a paint job that won't peel off in a short time you should sand most of that off and apply a good (expensive) black epoxy primer, AFTER a good wash with DuPont Metal Prep. You can use your high build primer over the epoxy for filling in the dimples and waves. A fine paint job is all in the prep.
