*highperf4x4* · 01-25-2010, 11:31 PM

tim21391 · 02-21-2010, 04:39 PM

tim21391 · 03-11-2010, 07:46 PM

two weeks goin back to work on the beast.. tearing bed apart to install a new floor.. block sanding whole truck.. sanding the inside.. then cutting it in.. and then sanding the overspray and then off to paint!!

tim21391 · 03-28-2010, 02:19 AM

should there be any problems with putting a 68 floor with my 72 sides?

**Palf70Step** · 03-28-2010, 08:24 AM

Shouldn't be any problems at all

*highperf4x4* · 03-28-2010, 11:45 AM

Nope.

tim21391 · 03-28-2010, 03:53 PM

ok thanks guys thats the next step

*highperf4x4* · 03-28-2010, 11:44 PM

I thought paint was the next step and you already replaced rockers/corners/etc?

You are going backwards brother!

tim21391 · 04-07-2010, 05:54 PM

ha what do you mean travis im confused haha

tim21391 · 04-07-2010, 05:57 PM

heres the new bed floor im putting in.. going to get it sandblasted its just surface rusted.. crossmembers are perfect

oldblue1968chevy · 04-07-2010, 07:04 PM

keep it up your lucky you have zero rust..no rust in windshield or drip rail area...?

tim21391 · 04-07-2010, 07:19 PM

when i was doing my door skins inner and outer in january we were fitting the doors for test fits and when they hit the drip rail when we shut it on the first trys it knocked filler out and exposed that black edp coating when u get new parts so im assuming they were new drips rails installed before i got the truck so which is good

I thought you had told me that you were ready for paint before. You said your dad wanted you to paint it yellow. Now you're tearing the bed apart.

tim21391 · 04-08-2010, 01:13 AM

well it needed to be done and i was like i should do this before i painted it.. i was just gonna patch the holes and get new crossmembers but i couldnt pass up this bed i seen so i had to get it thought it be easier just to swap floors then patch floor. so after i get it back from blasting im gonne undercoat the bottom and spray paint the top side for now so it wont rust then its off to prep and paint. and then after paint it will get a spray in liner then it will be done.. hopefully..

*highperf4x4* · 04-08-2010, 01:19 AM

Heck they're never done.

Sounds like a plan though.

tim21391 · 04-08-2010, 01:03 PM

ya exactly.. once paints done of course its not done.. then it moves onto interior goodies.. like flip up dvd player out of the head unit.. enlclosed hidden speaker system and what not.. its gonna be a dandy ol truck ill keep til i die

72BlckButy · 04-08-2010, 02:43 PM

So are you going with yellow or the original paint scheme?
