Thanks, I use pin stripping paint in the little cans. I'll even use spray paint , I just spray it on the front of a glossy magazine and apply it with my striping brush. Just don't drink any coffee befor you do it. hahahaha

Well the truck sold today. I had it osted for two days and the first guy to see it bought it. The guy was cool and i was able to turn him on to the forumn and it looks like we may have a new member soon. The guy drove the truck and fell in love with it. it was a great deal for both of us. You all have a great weekend.

Thanks Keith, I really appreciate all the info you gave me on the front end of this build to get the truck down to a respectible ride height. Take it easy.

Congratulations Tony, that quick sale doesn't surprise me!!! If that truck would have been a couple of feet shorter I would have been all over it!

ortegamotor · 10-19-2012, 07:25 PM

so I have this 67 short bed fleet side that i just picked up this weekend or I can build the 67 long bed????

ortegamotor · 10-19-2012, 07:37 PM

I'm kinda feeling this yellow one would make a great shop truck, slamed with some Torque Thrust powdwer coated black . just ratty on the out side but under the hood it would sport a sweet straight 6 with a turbo 400 trans just supper low and a completely new interior paint and all.

Nice ride

You can't go wrong with either of those, if you're past results are any indicator of what you'll end up with. Nice work!

You have way too many projects going on...just sell me the swb '67 and you can fix up the lwb as your work truck

farmall · 10-20-2012, 12:15 AM

I like your style Ortega. Very nice.

ortegamotor · 10-20-2012, 10:12 AM

Well the tribe has spoken...... I think I'll sell the short bed so I can focus on the Long bed shop truck. It'll have that low stance with those powder coated flat black torque thrust wheels , I'll retain the yellow paint but I'll paint the top of the cab white so I can acheive that MoonEyes look and feel of the sixtys...
