    O my goodness I feel like an idiot!!!! The cab lights have EVERYTHING to do with it! I was lookin at that pic thinkin "Man, that rust looks like its just sitting in there"... So I went out and checked it again. I rubbed it with my finger and the rust came right off...

    Verdict: I didnt blow off my shavings good enough when I drilled my cab lights lol. It rained a few days ago and rusted the shavings making it look like cab rust!!! WHAT A RELIEF!!!!

    Thanks for the insight. I will make sure I clear away all the chips when I do mine. Wouldn't have thought they would end up in there but I will check when I do mine for sure.

    Glad it wasn't really the truck rusting.

    I know! I was about to cry lol. And just some insight when you do yours: Make sure to do something to catch the chips on the inside... My truck still looks like its got sparkles on the inside lol
