Doing good.
Mine's kind of in ''paint jail'' as I'm not satisfied with the spraycan color being a correct factory ''Fawn.''
Taking my chances with Duplicolor ''Light Driftwood Sand.''

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I’m using body colors . White over Saddle fawn

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

OK. My '68 Stepside was 516 Orange outside and inside, but with a silver Fawn trim -- door panels, visors, seat vinyl, belts, dash pad, column and wheel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Mine is the same but I’m not worried about authenticity.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Hours of hand sanding today . Going to need some more JB Weld in spots

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Well, me neither. I was stating how it was when I bought it. In fact a half-century of dailiy driver use has seen a lot of changes. Currently it has blue visors -- custom plywood door panels, walnut-stained -- a '69 T-Bird electric bench bottom/bucket back seat upholstered in saddle. Dash pad recovered in the same saddle vinyl. Belts are original, but should be replaced for safety.
So if the wheel isn't Factory Fawn, it will bother nobody but myself.

I feel the same . We do the truck or car the way we like it

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice job on the steering wheel Mark.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yes, really nice work on that steering wheel. I never thought about epoxy to fill the cracks. What paint is used? I would think things like finger rings would mark up a painted wheel pretty easy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thanks got some more done today I should have it in high build primer tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Right on Mark, what paint are you going to use .........
hey would a 3 spoke wheel like yours fit in my 71 K10 ???

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Single stage white over saddle fawn poly . I believe they are all interchangable .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Lowered the front 4 1/2", my back is killing me.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

You lowered your back 4 and a 1/2 inches?
Nice looking truck! :cool:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I'm old and fat, so swapping everything out on the front is killing my back. Fronts dropped 4 1/2" and the back is on a 5" springs, I have a 1" rear drop block to install still so it will be a 4.5/6 drop when I'm done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Hey I'm old and fat too, which is why my truck is up in the garage remaining at stock ride height while I'm down here laying in bed watching HDTV and playing with my smartphone. :haha:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

What did you do today not on your truck...

...oh not much, just laying here in bed on my fat butt watching some guy on HDTV modify his C/10 heater box and teasing hdrolling for actually accomplishing something.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I got it painted today . Not sure if I’m going to two tone it or not I have a few months to decide

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Before and after

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That wheel turned out nice. Good job!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I agree!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thanks

I probably should have gotten a better core to start with it this one was pretty bad . Hopefully it holds up

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Very nice work on the wheel Mark, well done man!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yes that wheel turned out real good. :cool:

My truck came with the original steering wheel and it was in good shape but I replaced it with a Grant because that's what everybody else was doing.

Then I threw it in the trash because it never occurred to me to keep it.

Oops. :waah:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Looks good.
