Man, that Cab is some hep Neo Impressionist art. Like pre-Dali Monet. Don't paint it. Show it at the Guggenheim.

Well we sanded the paint of the cab and discovered that the cab must have been a cab that was converted to a motorhome. It looks to have had the center section cut away then replaced by the previous owner.

That's a lot of work to strip it. It looks like they did a decent job on the cab repair. Keep at it it's looking good!

I'm doing one right now and arleady tired of it.

Those cab repairs look nicely done. At least it was that way instead of a hacked mess.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 02-27-2022, 03:09 PM

Well I almost got the serpentine belt system installed on Beth's Tribute Truck. A/C pump turned out to be the wrong one. 😑

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-28-2022, 09:38 AM

Sure is pretty!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-03-2022, 11:31 PM

Serpentine belt done.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-04-2022, 10:50 AM

Looks great!

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-04-2022, 10:59 AM

That setup looks very nice!

It's been a while but, i have made more progress on Beth's Tribute Truck. Cab is bodyworked and in primer, the underside of the cab and bed have lizard skin coating on them for rust protection.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-18-2022, 11:28 PM

Last two.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-19-2022, 08:13 AM

Making some good progress and looking good.

SCOTI · 03-19-2022, 11:25 AM

Everything looking clean!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-20-2022, 11:54 AM

Thanks guys. The pace should be picking up now.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 03-20-2022, 08:23 PM

Almost starting to look like a truck, again.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-27-2022, 12:20 AM

Fitech intake installed and fuel lines almost done. I am almost ready to put the cab and bed back on for the last time. However there's a fly in the ointment.. can we sat "T" Bone!

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-27-2022, 06:41 AM

Ouch!!!

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 03-27-2022, 04:40 PM

The Red Truck doesn't look like a T-Bone-EE. More like it was the T-Bone-ER.
