1965 LWB Stepside Build

[roll_the_dice]

It has been a LOOOOOONG time since I have had time to work on the truck. I have done a few things here and there, but in the last couple of weeks I got the bug back and am trying to get this going again.

My son, a friend and I took the bed off the truck. I took the old gas tank out. I have painted most of the frame with KBS rust seal and black top.

I have mocked up the gas tank and should get it installed next week before Thanksgiving. Then I am going to start the rewire. I have a full rewire kit from AAW.

I am not repainting the truck, but have sanded the dead paint off and if I go to metal I go to metal. I will clear coat and wet sand and polish the pieces. I have done both cowls and both fenders. The hood will be next.

I am going to swap out to new shocks while the bed is off also.

Anyway, here are some photos of what I have done over the last few weeks...
