Looks like you are doing a good job training your boy. Start them out early in the garage. Keep gathering the parts, it looks like you have it all there. I hear you on the wheels and paint, I have a plan for my paint, gonna wait till the last minute on the wheels.

Choosing wheels, tires and paint color plagues us all. Have you picked a color yet?

Also, if you want to run a bench with the t56 you can - I did. You just have to find a shifter that is bent right. I happened across a factory '68 b-body mopar shifter and it worked perfectly. I raised it 1" tho. Again, nice work. You're going to love it. |

Love your truck. I am sure that you already know this but in case you didnt you have to neutralize the soda before you prime it or you will most likely have it come back and bite you. Barry at Southern Polyurethane will tell you all about it. Looking good

The bed....... Initially, I had planned on only removing the right side of the bed for a replacement. After removing part of the bed I found out it was really easy and better to disassemble the complete bed in preparation for paint. Most of the carriage bolts I had to weld strips of metal on the heads to stop them from turning. I was also able to get into every crack and crevice to remove old paint & grime. http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/y...odywork018.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/y...odywork007.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/y...odywork036.jpg http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/y...odywork056.jpg |
