Re: My Truck
Went to the shop today and got the wood in and put the bed on the truck. We pulled the bed back off so that we could reach some of the bolt's that were impossible to get to due to the frame, exhaust, etc. Now all we have to do is fix the scratches on the rear of the cab and the front of the bed. Also the spots we sprayed yesterday still need to be cleared. I love the stain that I chose in comparison to the SOM and I think I'm just going to leave the wood covered with the unglossed Thompson's because I love the combo. What do you guys think?
And the bed is covered in dust so that's why the color looks strange and not glossed.

Re: My Truck
I think it will be cool. You'll know for sure when it's all painted. You can really see the quilted look on them in those pics.

Re: My Truck
Yeah I know. I might go with a can of Helmsmans Varnish but I love that it keeps the beauty of the wood somewhat subtle and that certain things such as the quilting are shown in different light.

Re: My Truck
I used a Cabot wood stain called Australian Timber Oil. They have it in a few colors but mine is what they call Mahogany Flame. It's a beautiful oil stain that contains Linseed oil, Alkyd Oil, and South American Tung oil. I did about 3 coats with wiping in between and only allowed enough time between wiping to finish the rest of the boards before beginning to wipe the one I started with. I'm very pleased with the result though. After the stain was finished, I coated the boards front, back, and sides twice with Clear Thompsons.

Re: My Truck
I'm lucky to be able to capture this in a picture because I know that one day I would have ended up hating myself if I had not. Most of us who now have a truck that was always in the family or that know what it would feel like, would understand this picture. Unfortunately I was snapping the picture but this is my dad, my grandpa, and my uncle at the shop today.

Family is important Bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost a Grandmother, and 3 Uncles within a 2 Year Span! Thats 4 on my family members on my Dads side of the family! It has made my faith in Christ even more Stronger! Me and my dad are even closer now than we were. Just made me think just now. I need to take more pics of me and my father working out in the shop. He on his Rambler, and I on my '62. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; Psalm 103:13 Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Psalm 112:1-3 Love ya Pops........ Now lets put that Rambler on the Back Bumper!!!! And put my ole' 62 back on the road!!!!!!!

Re: My Truck
Haha. Agreed man. Within 4 months my grandpa lost his wife to cancer and his mother to leukemia. That was about 5 years ago. But family is one of those things that's very important to me and always has been.

Crap Hood
My buddy and I were just about finished with the hood and ready for primer the other day. We sanded it down and scuffed it off to find about 100 more little pinholes all over the place and then once we started spraying primer over it in order to allow it to sink into the holes parts of the front end around the parking lights began to blow out just from the air pressure. We're just about ready to take a sledgehammer to it and call it a day. $800 later and it's still a piece of crap thanks to US Body.
