46 hours and I'm up to my cab..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It's taken 46 hours of scraping, wire wheeling, sandpaper, thinner, rust restore, primer, paint.... and I'm only up to the cab! I like pics myself so here's a couple to show the progress......

congrats, you gonna pull the cab, or just do it from underneath?

WOW, that looks great. The time spent shows in the finish.

I feel your pain, I started from the front and am working my way back, not to deminish your hopes but wait till you get to the front, it is a royal pain, but hey it looks awesome once your done, I still have a couple more coats of por-15 silver to apply and then I will post pics
Truck looks good, keep going

Heck I got that far in like 4 hours but that was 7yrs ago and it it is not much further now

Looks great just stay with it one small section at a time!

Looking real good. Love the jackstands. I've had the same set for what seems like a hundred years.

That looks just like my frame, looking good!

Got the idea this morning that I'll get the rear end all done, set the bed floor in place and then lift and slide the cab back onto bed.... I'd don't have room otherwise to keep it all indoors.... slow but it's a hobby.....

Looking great. Just promise that when you get to the front end you don't use cinder blocks up there with the engine installed - they can shatter pretty easily with much weight on them.
