My baby

This could be long but here goes ....I got this truck from my dad for graduating H.S. but its been in the family for years.....I really was burnt out on working on it untill I joined this board and now my a$$ is in gear like it should be!!!!! Heres what i have done to it after beating the crap outta it in H.S.

New frame from 3/4 ton cause the 1/2 ton was bent the front half has been painted gun metal grey then the weather went bad..

Motor was blown up so I traded up to a 454 th400 combo

New bed side and new passenger door off other trucks not brand new

Shaved the cowl (everything else is next)

new windshild and all new glass rubber...

Thats all i got right now but now that I got a digi cam I''ll post lots of pics of the progress.....

heres some pics i took today just as it sits

Great Job!!!!

I just love to see people keep our hobbie alive! It looks like it is really coming together. One thing I would recamend is when you paint you should paint all your body panels off the truck without any of the lights and trim on them. That way you get that quality off the assembly line wrap on the paint and the paint will protect your investment alot better. But thats just an idea! It looks like your doing great without other people butting in!

Keep it up!

Jay that is gunmetal on the doors but it is about 15yrs old so its a little faded....
Chevy2 im not sure what color that is on the bedside its off a parts truck i bought....
Glory I know what you mean the only way to paint is to strip it all down bare...Thats what i did with the tailgate and fenders...
