WOW!!! That looks great. I also see that you sprayed your bed. What did you use to do that?

How were the brakes done? was it a kit or from a later model truck?

To answer some questions..The truck is a '70, bought it from my brother last year, drove it a few times then tore it apart for brakes and posi. The bedliner is some sort of spray in 1/4" thick in some spots. I still need tuning on the brake and alignment. Over the weekend has been the first time driven in months.

I did the work myself with the exception of setting up the posi. I used later model truck parts but if I was going to do it again i'd use a kit. Saving money was in my best interest but a kit would have been only $200-300 more.

Future plans include new cab supports(only rust) and restoring the a/c system.

Thanks for the compliments!
