Man I only wish my floor had that little rust on it. I am ordering tailpan, entire bed floor, wheel wells, front floors, and carpet to restore mine to it's former glory.

Looks very nice. I think mine was that color from the factory. I pulled my carpet and my floorboards are metallic blue

I used autozone degreaser, a sharp putty knife,and wire wheel,and lacquer thinner.

First use the degreaser and putty knife to get the majority of the stuff off.then degreaser and a wire wheel,get it clean,and wipe down with lacquer thinner

I used a combination of a wire wheel and a gasket scraper.
