I picked up the box sides, tail gate, rear sill, box front panel, cowl vent panel and the filler that goes between the bumper and grille surround from the painter. The timing was perfect, I'm going to jam and get the non-truck projects done around the house tomorrow so I can assemble the box on Sunday...

boy does that emblem there look sharp!

The inspiration for the emblem came from this drawing...

Some more progress pics. I was supposed to pick up my truck tonight but begged off until tomorrow evening. I hope it stops raining by then.

Sunday I got my hardware sorted so it's ready for the reassembly. I got some nice billet fender washers from Eddies Motorsports, they fit the bolts perfectly so everything will be concentric when the fenders go on. The front bumper was cleaned up inside and out so it will be ready when the time comes. I also gave the inside of the rear fenders a couple coats of SEM bed liner to help protect the sheetmetal from rocks, etc...

Very nice on everything, really like the washers...Jim

Thanks Jim. The washers were pretty reasonable too...

I got the truck home from paint without incident, now the fun begins...

**oldman3** · 08-21-2018, 11:19 PM

Looks super...Jim

**Joe Pass** · 08-21-2018, 11:47 PM

Show season is pretty much over by early October. I will be content to drive it before we get snow.

Black_Sheep · 08-22-2018, 09:25 PM

Some buds came over and we got the box set on the frame...

Indian113 · 08-23-2018, 09:10 AM

Really starting to look like a truck again, looks sharp I like color combo a lot.

**joedoh** · 08-23-2018, 08:05 PM

wow shes a beaut! I wouldnt be able to leave the garage for fear with something that gorgeous. are you going to whack it with a claw hammer and get that first scratch/dent heartbreak out of the way? (joking)

**Dan in Pasadena** · 08-24-2018, 12:38 AM

Mark,

Did you make or have made the bed roll caps? I bought polished caps from Mar-K and I like them but I’ interested in yours too. Everything’s looking sharp.

My brother in law is a machinist, he whipped them up for me.

**Rickysnickers** · 08-24-2018, 10:05 AM

You've done a very nice job on that truck. It looks great.

Black_Sheep · 08-24-2018, 10:30 PM

I picked up the last of my parts from paint on Thursday night...

Black_Sheep · 08-24-2018, 10:46 PM

I slipped some poly pads between the box and frame rail then squared the box to the frame and cab. I got the step and fender hung on the driver's side before the mosquitos drove me out. I'll have to put the fender braces on and snug everything up tomorrow. I'm hoping to get the back half done this weekend, then I'll turn the truck around and start on the front.

**oldman3** · 08-24-2018, 11:14 PM

Really looking good...Jim

Black_Sheep · 08-25-2018, 02:33 PM

More progress, for some reason the passenger side fender went a lot easier...

BIGglaSS · 08-25-2018, 11:52 PM

Very nice! You're getting close to the finish!

Black_Sheep · 08-26-2018, 10:36 PM

The fenders, braces, steps, etc... are all assembled, the rear bumper is back in place and the rear lighting installed. The rest of the day was spent cleaning dust and overspray in the engine compartment. When that's done I can start putting the front clip on.

**oldman3** · 08-26-2018, 11:15 PM

Very nice...Jim

Black_Sheep · 08-28-2018, 09:59 PM

Monday night I got the wiper linkage, shaved cowl panel and wiper bezels installed.

The glass guy has a lot on his plate so he can't come out to do the windshield and back glass until a week from Saturday. I really don't want to put the front clip on until the glass is in but there's plenty to do in the meantime...

Black_Sheep · 08-28-2018, 10:05 PM

Oh yea, and there's this...

**Rickysnickers** · 08-29-2018, 12:47 AM

In another thread you showed a picture of your kick panels. I didn't want to side track it by asking there, so I am going to ask here. How did you attach the kick panels to the truck?
