I have to paint the glove box door, ash tray, and cowl vent. Put the wing window and door glass in the drivers side door, and put the wood in the bed. I also have to put the emblems on the front fenders. I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting....

Believe it or not I don't have any trouble getting in it and I'm only 5-7 and an old fart. I use a milk crate when I'm working on it and getting in and out a lot though...

Thanks guys,

Re: Makin' Some Progress On The 4x4 Longhorn

Leon, do you have any issues putting on the retaining nuts for the emblems with the fenders on. I can't hardly get my arms in for the rear ones with the fenders on. Man the paint on that truck shines so nice!

I used barrel nuts/clips on the '72 GMC and the Red & White '71 to install the rear emblems.

Here is a thread I posted on it....

Re: Makin' Some Progress On The 4x4 Longhorn

Wow Leon, that is turning out great. I know what ya mean about the milk crates. I've got them staggered all around mine. Lol. Wish I would have known about those barrel nuts a few months ago. Good tip.

I have been dragging my feet on this thing but I finally got some finish on the bed wood and got it in place a while back. I still have to put the bolts in it but I guess it's still progress. It is Cedar wood cut from old power poles. It def. has a lot of character....

I have been distracted with a couple of other projects that I wanted to get done so it is taking longer than it should. Here is one of the reasons for the delays....

Re: Makin' Some Progress On The 4x4 Longhorn

That wood in there looks awesome, nothing like recycling good wood, should hold up well in the weather, good choice. I like the character of the wood

Never would have thought of using those poles. Look great. Oil finish?

I really like that you did this color-matched bed strips rather than stainless. Best look in my book.

Yes, just a Danish Oil finish.

I've always liked the painted bed strips too. I know they don't hold up as good as the stainless ones but they shouldn't be that hard to touch up if needed.
