My Sons 64 Shortwide
My Son and I have been working feverishly to finish this truck. It should be ready for the Torch Red paint next week maybe late in the week. I will be spraying the High Build Primer today or tomorrow. It will take a couple of days to knock that down and then comes the sealer coat. I have added a couple of goodies to the truck, Power Front Disc Brakes, Power Steering and a huge Sway Bar up front and a new wiring harness. Has anyone put a Rear Sway Bar on one of these Trucks along with the rear disk brakes? If so do you think these Items added are worth the money to do the upgrades. I will add a couple of pictures of the truck as it sets.

We have been working on it for about 2 weeks and I will post some pictures of it later today with more up to date pictures. My Son and I will be applying the High Build Primer Tomorrow and then its back to sanding. I hope to be applying the color late next week. The truck is really clean with little or no rust. I have been looking at the Painless wire harness and it looks kind of Painful to me and I am an electrician. It sure would be nice to have all the original firewall gromets for this trucks application. Is there somewhere to buy them? Thanks for the compliment on the truck. JRBECK64 |

Re: My Sons 64 Shortwide
Just a few more pictures of the truck. I will send more tomorrow after I get the high build sprayed. When I finish This one My next project is a 63 Shortwide. It doesn't have near the goodies this one does but I am going to put a 305 V8 in place of the 250 strait six and bolt it right to the Granny 4 Speed. Then I am going to paint that one a bright blue with black accents (Grill, Mirrors, Bumper, Wheels). It should look ok. Thanks for all the compliments on the truck. I will keep the pictures coming.

Re: My Sons 64 Shortwide
We Painted the High build Primer today. Man was it hot out there in my shop. It turned out really good. I know this might sound sick but I cant wait to start longboarding it. Cant waite to see it shiny and Red (NOT GREEN). I have nothing against green but my Son does. Its his truck and who am I to tell him what color to paint it. Anyway here are some pictures of it with the High Build Primer on it.

Re: My Sons 64 Shortwide
Well So much for getting the truck done quick. We spent a lot more time on the bodywork than I had anticipated but I think its going to turn out pretty nice. We painted the sealer coat yesterday and need to do the 500 Grit wet block sand to it before we apply the Base Coat Clear Coat. We are going to wet sand the interior Tomorrow and paint the interior with single stage and then tape it all off in prep for the exterior of the truck. Here are a few pictures of the truck as it sets now. I hope we remember how to put this thing back together!!!!
