Re: Surf Blue
Pretty inspiring to see where your truck was in 06 vs where it is today. I've just started on mine and it looks a little (lot) worse than your 06 version. Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, that blue color is very nice. I was thinking about going with a similar blue...like...Miller Lite blue. Perhaps the fact that I always have a beer in my hand while working would explain that. Subliminal advertising?

Re: Surf Blue
One side of the tub project is done ,I widened them 3.5". I did the inner bedside mod also so I can fit the maximum wheel,tire. I'm starting on the other side soon. It took me about 10 hours to get the first side done. Hopefully the second side will go a little bit faster. Here's the only pic I have up so far,I'll post some more when I finish completely. (Along with a big thanks)

Re: Surf Blue
As posted above I got one side completed, and started on the other side of the tub project. I'm essentially done with the tub and bed floor on the other side as far as the metal work goes. Now I just have to take it to work to strip it and prime it. The inner bedside mod I did was a little more difficult than I expected don't really know why, it just worked out that way. Either way it is completed on one side as well, and now I'm starting on the other side. I've enclosed a pic of what I made to fit in there . It's not a mod I thought up or anything ,I've seen it done before on other trucks on this site.
I've got to give a big thanks to board member SCOTI as well. He volunteered his spare tubs ,so that I could get this done. This isn't the first thing he's helped me out on so in my book I owe him one ,or two. ![]() Most of the dash is reassembled now, along with a shiny new windshield in place. The passenger side door is cut in and ready to go along with some freshly painted door latches as well. I also picked up some black carpet for areas where the factory carpet kit doesn't cover . Hopefully I'll get to that in the next few weeks. I moved the truck outside to get it out of the way so I snapped some pictures of it while I had it out. I'll post more later . ENJOY!

Re: Surf Blue
Your truck is simply stunning. I too find the stance to be just right. Not too low. Not to high. Keep feeding us the eye candy and we'll stay tuned. Great work.

Truck is looking great! While you have the bed off, can we get some pics of your notch, air tank and compressor mounting?

Re: Surf Blue
I'll post some pics of the notch ,tank, and other stuff in a few days.
Yes the color is called surf blue. The brand of paint I am using is PPG, but you can get that color in just about any automotive paint line. |
