All you need to finish off the look is a set of "Truck Balls".... just stay out of South Carolina (http://mynorthwest.com/123/673065/An...South-Carolina)

Don't forget to get remove from that loaner truck the adapter plate that mounts to the side wall of the inner cab. This adapter plate joins the blower fan ( via a wide rubber sleeve ) to fresh outside air:

Nothing, but found this old Chevy grille (probably 29-31 based on what he had as a kid) in my Dad's storage container. Also brought back two boxes of old hub caps (some AD) and saw an old gas pump buried in the back.

Looks pretty damned good in the photo. Does it look that flawless in person? If so, you might just have a future as a painter, huh?:lol:

Is it satin or are you clear coating it?

Thanks, and yes it looks even better in person! Even better now it's on the truck.lol
it's going to stay satin, i hope to do the rest of the truck and maybe some day down the road i'll put some color on her. Thanks for the job offer but it would cost me money to do body work for a living. lol Don't get me wrong i love how nice it came out but it took me ten times the amount of time to get it right... lol

Thanks Ray

I like the satin black. you spend less time polishing and more time having fun with your truck.
looks great Ray!

Iworked on cleaning up my frame where the suspension X-member goes. I would like to weld it in tomorrow. If the wind dies down that is.
