I am glad you are ok. A lot of good people are hurting from the flood waters.

Thank you; yes there are many families that have lost everything, its very sad to see, there was actually higher water levels and more damage than from Floyd in '99.

I am pretty positive the rearend didn't move front to back at all. The kit does have a drop built into it which I think was about 3 inches.

Thanks fellas for the kind words. These projects can sometimes take on a life of their own. Got all the bed wood strips tightened down today so the backend is complete.

Keith,
I really like your bed color. Do you remember the brand and color name? What polyurethane finish did you use?

Hi Dan,
The color stain I used was Sedona Red by Minwax followed by 10 coats of Spar Urethane also by Minwax. I used 0000 steel wool between each coat. I just thought that shade really blended with the color of my truck.
Thanks

Sweet, nice, beautiful paint/color! Same as the first AD that caught my eye when I was a kid. It had wire wheels but I like yours better...can't beat burgundy with cream wheels.

Owned for the last 34 years and counting, never been off the frame, never had a full "nut and bolt" restoration. Just a survivor, tried to keep her running and gussied up nice. Stock 216, 3-on the tree, slow and steady as she goes...;)

Thanks much. Can't get tagline to show underneath post but it's in my profile. Was also on the site back 10 yrs or so ago as Scooter67 with a '67 Chevy that's been sold long ago. That email must be dead but the truck is here:http://truckwithaheart.com/67chevy.htm

Oh there's that sig...never mind!:lol:

Hey Rob, you ever been on I-10 going thru Beaumont, TX? If not I saw one very similar and it was a cool sight to see. Good job!

Good chance of it, I've been through TX, OK, LA, GA, SC, NC, VA, CO, AK, FL, MS and KS in this beast. Loving every minute of it. Hoping for Canada next year.
