Those trucks certainly must have led a hard life. Looks like the fender extension may be the only straight panel left on either one.

Here are a few on my list. All of these are currently for sale. There are so many trucks for sale I just can't make up my mind which one I want. I would love to build my own but I understand my limitations and abilities.

Sounds like my new step side project, I'm using a 64 SWB chassis, with a cab from a 62 Chev 1 ton and considering using the 60-61 Chev bubble hood with a 61 grill and the seat out of my old 66 GMC..

PPG sells a Satin Finish Clear...It aint cheap.
I had to go with the Gloosy Clear (dam recession!!! LOL)
...but may change it later.
FYI...You can sand glossy clear with a super fine sand paper to get the satin look.

i hear ya, dam recession...if i had a job already, mine could be painted sooner...anyway, when the time comes i will be debating between a regular base/flat clear or the Hot Rod Flatz...i wish i could see in person or find pics of a vehicle done in the Tropical Turquoise Hot rod Flatz

What's the drop on your pickup? I really like the way that one sits. Love the color too, that may be the way I go with my '66 LWB.:metal:

3" springs up front with 2" drop spindles and a 5" spring in back with 2" blocks and a small notch in rear. Also had to do a trackbar kit. 205-70-15's all the way round.

Sweet truck man! Low budget is WAY cooler than high dollar rides.. I've pulled up to a red light next to a new Viper on cruise night and dumped the bags on my 76 Blazer and nobody was lookin at the Viper while I'm the one gettin the thumbs up from pedestrians!

Wow, you took it and made a heck of a nice rig out of it. That's why I like before/after pics, makes you appreciate the completed truck a lot more when you remember where it started.

Bear;

We painted the truck in a portable garage in the driveway..Not a concours,but works for what we use it for..
Here is the floor..I had some walnut boards laying around for 25 years..Decided this would be a great place to use it up.

The bed strips are original. The truck had a galvanized steel overtop the original wood..
It likely saved the strips ,but the wood was rotten.

We use a mat overtop the wood to haul crap around.

Beautiful floor, that walnut is gorgeous. What did you use for a stain and what did you use to seal it?
