How long could it take?
 

This is kinda long winded. Here I go..

I got my 68 1/2 short bed back from the body shop since it had the inner, outer rockers, & kick panels replaced and now I am looking to the next step. Also the truck does run. New drum brakes all around, crate 350, and a fresh rebuilt t400 tranny. I dont want to have a pay a body shop to do the rest of the work except paint and that is waaayyyy down the road. The only other rust on the truck is very minor surface rust that I could wipe out with a 3/8s drill and a wirewheel. My question for those that have gone the I'm doing it route is about how long did it take? I fgure I can get in 2-3 hrs a night on it at least 3-5 days a week.

Thanks in advance.

... so what is the route you're going to take?

Re: How long could it take?
 

The "I do it" route.

Im going to try the i do it route and see what happens. Probably start on the doors and go from there.

Figure out a schedule that you think YOU can have the work done, then multiply that by 3 and that should be pretty close:)

:haha: I can attest to that!

HAHAH or in my case 4 or 5 :lol:

In my case, I can relate to those numbers! :D

It depends on your tools, the time groupings and how well you want it to look. But It'll almost alwys take longer that what you estimate.
