Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Still cleaning up the rear frame & suspension. Getting ready to pull off the bed but I couldn't resist removing the stock coils and setting in the 5" drop coils just to check the look before tear down. I'm likin' it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked on the new bed wood from Classic Parts today. Whiteoak for the short step. Very pleased with quality! 1st pic is after the Minwax pretreat and conditioner. 2nd is after staining w/Early American Minwax. Spar Poly next and it'll be finished!

![]() ![]() For this project there really wasn’t much overspray because I decided to paint the engine compartment with Raptor bed liner. I wanted something textured and durable that wouldn’t chip when I piled wrenches on the inner fenders, would look different but hot rod appropriate, and would require very little maintenance. For a long time I considered painting the engine compartment in Zolatone which was popular back in the 60’s, but it isn’t rust proof or nearly as durable. As of a month ago I was going to shoot it in gloss black enamel, until I saw a couple of other projects covered in the stuff, and found some favorable reviews. I’ve also had great results with other UPOL products. After about 40 hours of prep, I finally shot it this morning and by this afternoon had everything back together with the engine running. All that’s left now is to tie up the driver side wiring, repaint the hinges and springs, and get the hood back on. ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I put a new guage cluster from Dolphin in and replaced the 15 year old 5" round outside mirrors with the larger rectangle ones from Classic Parts. My old eyes are not what they used to be.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
UPOL Raptor Bed Liner. A lot of people buy it from TP Tools. I was in a hurry so I bought mine locally and paid more for it. Make sure you get the kit complete with the gun. The threads are unique to UPOL bottles. I have a 3M Schutz gun but it won't screw onto the UPOL containers.
