Re: 68 project
 

Man that's really going to look good. Sweet.

Re: 68 project
 

Got the last coat on the other side and fender well. Time to head off to the casa. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Did you figure out what you are going to do with the gas filler?

Re: 68 project
 

Yes I have, it should be here next week hopefully. . :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Cool beans.

Re: 68 project
 

There is one thing for sure, a wood floor bed sure does have a lot of bolts :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Time to call it a day ..:mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Today is an early days,lol.

Re: 68 project
 

Lol, I was here at 5 o'clock. Started polishing the wheels also :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

simply one of a kind ....awesome

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks Jess, I am very well pleased with the outcome so far and so glad it is together and does not have to come back apart :lol: The tips of my fingers are sore from spinning washers and nuts on :waah:

Re: 68 project
 

I have me a set of Doug Thorley's heading my way, I have been contemplating but just couldn't bring myself to buy a set of those cheap ebay headers, always fear a bunch of cheap header leaks. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

I've run a set of headmans on my truck for many years. Never had any trouble. Good thick flanges. I think you'll like the thorleys. Glad you have the bed together. Only a few more bolts to put it on the frame. Lol.

Re: 68 project
 

I like Hedman's also but the price difference between those and the Thorley's with ceramic coating wasn't much different so I decided to try out these, my first set.

Still have all the bolts to install the tubs yet, :smoke: plus the tailgate has to be mounted yet. I do have all the bed mounting bolts drilled and ready to install. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

From the beginning to now :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Man you got that bed on quick. Like the collage.

Re: 68 project
 

Lookin' GR8! The wood floor looks amazing with the black trim, and the tubs look like they came that way. You're making some awesome progress.

Re: 68 project
 

Nice progress Larry!

Re: 68 project
 

That bed look great. Very nice work.

Re: 68 project
 

:agree: It really does!

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks guys, I am ready to ride it so I am trying to be persistent on finding time to work on it. The bed is a big plus to getting closer it was a big chunk of work to get it to this point. I am going to try to finish up the other tub and the gate this week so the bed will be officially 100% finished. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

My new front tag :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Absolutely amazing looking!!

Re: 68 project
 

Digging the tag.

Re: 68 project
 

Was able to go by the shop last night and started work on the gate, hopefully can finish it up by the end of the week. Ordered my tail light harness I want to get the bed 100% and then I will move onto the cab and finish it up. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Worked on the gate a but tonight. :chevy: Not a whole lot of progress but every little bit counts.

Re: 68 project
 

FYI, tailgates with stamped letters are fun to skim coat with bondo... NOT !!!! :waah:

Re: 68 project
 

Is yours an original or a reproduction?

Re: 68 project
 

It is an original. Bought it from another board member last year at truck nats :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Nothing to it. Lol

Re: 68 project
