I like the way your wheels fill the fender gaps perfectly. Do you know the specs? Backspacing etc.

When I look at all these fine trucks I just know: There's magic everywhere...thanks for all the pics as it give hope to all who are in process of restoring their truck!

I have two. 1st my 68 1 ton and then the 71 4x4

jhwkns · 04-28-2010, 04:24 AM

Great Thread Kev; I bought mine in '97. It hadn't been on the road for nine years. I was missing a lot of pieces, but the price was right.

I got busy on it right away. This is what it looked like in the summer of 1998.

Move forward 6 years. I painted it again. This time I did the interior.

Move forward another 6 years. I'm painting it again. It's been getting pretty tattered. About a year ago someone ran into the rear end while it was parked. It destroyed my tailgate, and smashed the rollpan. I found another tailgate that was repairable, fixed it, and straightened out the rollpan. I'm quite further along than the picture shows, and should be done painting this weekend.

rob, i love that burb!

ewoody625 · 04-28-2010, 12:27 PM

well here are my two before and afters, well before and current would be better phrasing. Lots of nice trucks I'm seeing here, I hope mine turns out half as nice. The current pic of the blue on is a few weeks old so I'm a little further on that. The cab has been sand blasted and I have the hood primered. Hopefully will get the cab primered this weekend.
