Hidden Beauty

[Rich-'66]

I have been evaluating and making decisions on my recently purchased '66 step-side's future.

Total off frame or just have fun with it?

The former owner did this nasty flat black un-prepped spray job, but a little investigation showed this base. This nice light green base and it has had one light green re-spray over that. Beautiful!

Having fun with it wins out!

I LIKE it. If I can overcome my OCD compulsion for a perfect paint job, this should be fun, of course I will HAVE to fix some of the rusted through penetrations and blend in.
I have overcome the urge to order all new fenders, truck bed etc.

I even snatched these fine rusted mirrors off ebay! I love them

Short term Plans are;
Front Disks, power booster
New brake lines
Moving Gas tank
power steering
lowering
wheels
back to original bench seat
Finding a white original front bumper
removing all body panels, cleaning, POR 15 inside, SS bolts
