Finally got around to taking progress pics. I got the cab back from my painter. He had it a year and a half. He does awesome work....just a tad slow. He wanted to get the cab to me so I could begin putting her back together.

Details: 1971 Longbed w/ Wood Bed 350/400....dropped 4/6 using spindles and springs.

This weekend....installed rear window, master cylinder, heater box.

Let me know what you think.

Solid...it is a custom blend of PPG. I showed the painter a picture and he got as close as possible to it. I am very happy with the outcome.
