Yeah that is probably the route I'll go. It would have been a cool patina tailgate, but unfortunately that's not the route I'm going. Fingers crossed I can find something local.

My dad came up for the day to give me a hand with some of the bodywork. We started putting some glaze on the fender and cab. Things are starting to look and feel pretty dang straight!

Also used my little sandblaster gun to clean up backside of the grill trim. Worked pretty good.

Will continue on the bodywork for the cab and body panels for the time being.

Also ordered a new Boyd fuel tank for the rear of the truck. Will slowly start accumulating parts for the chassis. I'm feeling pretty good about having the cab and body panels in primer by middle of spring

Looking good man. I hope to have mine pretty ready for paint by then too... I'm off for a few weeks so that helps but your looking like your going to hit your timeframe no problem.

Are you building a DD or a trailer queen?

Not planning on it being a DD but also not a trailer queen. Plan is to drive it around in nice weather and also on some short trips. I also might try hitting a few small local car shows. I'll definitely plan on putting some miles on it.

Nice job on all your metal work btw. Looks like you're making some awesome progress.

I started the bodywork on the passenger fender last night. Finished sanding the body filler and now getting going on the glaze. Probably the toughest part about it is sanding in all the grooves by the headlight.

Question - what do most people do with the interior of the fender? My plan was to remove the little bit of surface rust and then coat It. I'm not entirely sure what type of product to use.

Thanks
