The good news
My new bed strips with the fitting kit , and body mouldings and the clips have arrived. On all the C10 Facebook pages most people had recommended Mar-k in Oklahoma for the body mouldings. The reason for this is they are made in the USA no cheap Chinese copy’s . The problem I had was Mar-k don’t deliver to the U.K. . The good news is Topspeed and there sister company CM Frost were able to purchase them from Mar-k and ship them over to the U.K. as they are an agent for them . They arrived very well packed . As for the truck I spent most of the weekend sanding and prepping the floor inside ready for primer.http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...pszhhqj86y.jpg

Youll have her on the road by Christmas mate!

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Thanks Bill I would like to at least have the cab painted underneath and the engine bay painted, and the inside all painted Then I plan on getting the cab back on the chassis. If it’s done by the end of the summer, I can start fitting all the parts over the winter . This arrived today to help it happen

Well I got a bit more done on the truck this weekend.
Inner fenders back from sand blasting.
Then the rusty section was cut out and the rust replaced with new metal.
Then filled and prepared for primer.
Then high build primer.
