This is how the ceiling of the cab looked as we started on it. You can see some mix of rust and what is probably old flaking adhesive that held up the old ceiling panel. (oh and aged, sun baked, warped visors that are off now)My concern is the corners and inside edges if that is rust (and I don't like sanding above my head as all that junk rains down on me!)
Good news! As you can see on the right when I started sanding, most of what you saw was red adhesive and very little rust around the edges. Very happy about that.
A shot towards the rear, the cab dome light. Lots of bright, not rusty steel. as you get towards the edges I found some light surface rust (you can see a slight color change to red in the pic) but really in good shape. I treated with rust converter to be sure, in all the hard to see, reach crevices.
I got some sound deadening material online, enough to do the cab floor, back wall, ceiling, maybe the hood. If I can salvage the headliner from my donor truck, i will go get some material from a material store, some spray adhesive, and redo the headliner.
Then next steps are paint the ceiling brackets and frame, sound deadening roll, refinished headliner.
