Ok, forget what I said about this being a place for everybody to post. That truck makes mine look like junk, please delete!

No... Just really really kidding. That truck is bad to the bone. Can't wait to see, or hear, it run. I'm sure plenty more nice truck experiences could be shared here.

Haha, it's not nice yet but it's getting there. I've been a member here for nearly 10 years and followed along with a lot of great builds but only recently felt like my pile of junk was worthy of posting.

This is where it started:

Well, I got a little carport built for the '72 that has me wanting to pick up on doing some work on these trucks of mine. Right now the '72 is on jack stands for rear brakes before hitting the road. I really want to pull that hood off, strip bare, and paint. That old paint is just split/peel/popping off. I found out about a recycled glass blasting service in my area I want to have strip it

I am going to put the stock hood back on my 55 210. I picked a hood up at West Plains, MO yesterday and dropped it off at Ozark Mountain Classics in Mt Home Arkansas to have them blast it. These guys know what they are doing, because they use the sheet metal they blast to build come of the nicest cars around.

Yeah, I've had a commercial paint shop do my sand blasting for decades, but no sheet metal goes to them... except lawn chairs and such. These recycled glass guys were telling me the surface temp of the metal is actually cooler than ambient. They seem to be there for that between heavy sandblasting and lighter soda blasting. A way to get at surface rust on sheet metal is what I'm thinking. I tell you, where that hood has flaked off to bare metal it is barely rusting. That was different metal back then
