Yeah I painted rust inhibitor on it after wire wheeling and sanding it heavily. There are drain plugs back there. It wasn’t noticeable at all until the bumper was removed.

Tie rod ends, wheel bearings, updated spindles and a birfield rebuild. Not how I expected to spend my Sunday but the truck is sorted now.
Also a bh3d cup holder.
No more vibration, the tie rod end was dead.

Brake booster vacuum line, it was still sealing but pretty rough. Didn't have the large crack I tried bending it
Also can't believe I paid that much for a single vacuum line

Every 30 ish years for a hose isn't too bad.
Um, I may be a little off on my assumption but, I don't think that is good...
Wasn't over the weekend but my 80 had a case of the Mondays. The culprit was the hose that runs from the radiator to the water neck coming off the cylinder head behind the distributor.
Decided to change the oil after a long stint past my normal 5K interval. Then got underneath to check everything out, grease the u joints and birfs, sway bar bushings were pretty much shot. Ordered some new ones and also gave me a chance to install some thicker beefier brackets on the rear from a formally named company. I can tell the vehicle def feels a little more tighter on the road.
