Maybe I need to make a trip over there so you can tell me the long story and give me some vinyl wrap pointers.

Re: 75 Dually build

Nice board and advertising. Have you decided what you were planning on putting on the new panels in the bed? I can't remember if you were going to do some sort of spray in bed liner, or some type of wood concoction.

Wood might be cool with the surfing thing you have going on.

Right now I'm going to use the Rustoleum bed liner to seal everything top to bottom. I would really like to do something in wood, but I want to finish the interior first before I do something like that.

I'm sure we can find you another board and go West Texas sand surfing! It's the in sport!!

Yeah I really would like to do some exotic wood in the bed if that is the route I go. I have a good friend who builds custom cabinets. I have been talking with him about milling me some boards. When I get to it that will be fun!

Yes you should send yours in. It is easy, check out the small print at the end of the readers rides. It tells you everything you need to submit and even an email address where to send everything. DO IT!

Re: 75 Dually build

Ok back to business! Coat #1 done! Using Rustoleum bed coating. I bought the gallon size. So far I like it. I bought a throw away small paint roller kit at Home Depot that had 4 rollers, a pan, and the handle for $4. This product goes on really well and the coverage is very good. Really hard to tell with only one coat on it, but the truth will be once I get better coverage on the whole part.

I have not done the sides yet because I have a lot more sheet metal work to do before I can coat those parts.

Needs a lot more coats, but that is for tomorrow night...

Stay tuned!

Getting it ready to be a hard worker! Got the original Reese hitch all bolted up tonight. Need to get the wiring completed tomorrow. This is the stuff I really enjoy...

Stay tuned!

You are right. I had this hitch, and it was the original hitch that came with the truck. That meant that I did not have to drill a bunch of new holes.

Going to put her to work this weekend at the blue ribbon rally show this weekend.
