And he hasn't even talked about the cost of supplies. You say your getting new bedsides, is that fenders and all?

no fenders, just sides.

Last couple of evenings was spend doing the steps modifications. I had used another set when i was mucking up the exhaust tips. I only had the cut out done, this time i had an arch welded inside to give it strength. Also these are in better shape.

Great job JML55! This site has a lot of knowledge that is being shared and makes working on my that much more fun.

nightmare_56 · 03-16-2010, 11:44 PM

seeing this makes me want to go work on my 56.

but no i cant because my entire yard is under 2 feet of water

Kabwe · 03-17-2010, 05:30 PM

That really looks mine man. Good work.

**JML55** · 04-25-2010, 11:27 PM

Well progress is at a slow pace but its moving. The cab is still at the body shop, should get some paint on it pretty soon. Most of the work done in the past weeks is being done to get better door gaps.

**JML55** · 04-25-2010, 11:30 PM

More door gap work.

Kim57 · 04-26-2010, 12:15 AM

Looking good. Its amazing the amount of work these trucks need to get good door gaps.I don't look forward to that part of my build at all.
Kim

**JML55** · 06-12-2010, 01:17 PM

It has been a while but the primer is on, paint is going on today.

**JML55** · 06-20-2010, 11:04 PM

Got it back home today. will start reassembly shortly.

**JML55** · 07-16-2010, 08:10 PM

At a stand still with the paint job, well actually going backward. The paint job on the cab didn't turn out at all the way i was looking for. After trying to fix the orange peel issues i found the paint was lifting at a few places. So here i am blasting the paint of the cab again and starting all over.

Kabwe · 06-12-2010, 04:16 PM

Looking good man.

Kim57 · 06-13-2010, 12:34 AM

The cab looks great.
Kim

**JML55** · 06-13-2010, 11:40 PM

Well here is the truck with some color on it.

Kim57 · 06-14-2010, 12:09 AM

That does look sharp.

Looks good!

Tri5Nerd · 06-14-2010, 08:59 AM

Nice, now you're starting to see the light at the end of tunnel! When I see paint being layed on then I know you're getting close to finishing the truck.
