Project- high dollar low budget build
I bought a great '68 3/4 ton long box with the intentions of turning it into a 1/2 ton and getting it painted quick. Now after little over a year i am almost to paint. I did the 1/2 ton swap within a month of getting it and then started on removing the chrome trim, side markers, bed post holes.

Re: Project- high dollar low budget build
The only places that i had to end up replacing were the passenger side cab corner and rocker panel. The cab corner was rusted through and the rocker panel had a few pin holes.

Re: Project- high dollar low budget build
This weekend I had to move out of the paint booth so i decided to get the frame painted with POR-15 and POR-15 frame black to keep the frame looking good when im all done

Re: Project- high dollar low budget build
A bad update on the pickup, you can see in the pictures that there is quite a difference in the body panels in the clear coat. We are in the process of taking it all down to shoot it over! There was a bad batch of clear that we got that made some of the truck a dead flat instead of the eggshell sheen we wanted. So the truck is set back a while
