some progress on my 76

[patgizz]

this is what i started with

since i got it i've fixed all the frozen linkages and broken pump bracket, now it dumps. i also sanded and painted the bed black and built a new tailgate, and i made/stained/varnished new wood sides for it. i'll get some pics of the gate i built when i get it painted and put on. right now its waiting for the gate because the bed is full of scrap aluminum that needs to go in for recycling.

here's where i am now




i also managed to clean all the mouse feces out of the cab so i don't contract the haunta virus while driving.

Looks better, good job.

Do you plan on painting the cab at all?

[patgizz]

i'm going to replace the cab and paint it off, separately. the cab looks ok outside but unfortunately the floors are terrible. i got a good cab that just needs one corner and has nice floors and rockers. i dont know what color i will go with but i think red is growing on me.

I agree, the red does look good with the bed black. Nice truck, makes me wanna go work outside, or hook chains to something and be a little destructive
