Here you go David. Not much of a close up, but here's a pic that I had on file...

frmula505 · 11-09-2009, 05:30 PM

Nice progress there. That's a great welding job. Getting closer to a paint job. I get a little jealous seeing that 59 in the background. Haven't touched mine in close to a year.

Funny. The truck was still in pieces when that photo was taken.

61TWUK · 11-10-2009, 10:40 AM

my question is who's is that? that looks like a very nice truck...

jchav62 · 11-10-2009, 01:06 PM

That's my buddy Abe's. Says so in the post. Very nice truck...

Notice Abe's '59 Apache in the background. His prostreet project. Awesome truck that he's building...

jchav62 · 11-30-2009, 01:32 PM

Got some update pics from the body man. It's looking good!

jason65 · 11-30-2009, 01:44 PM

Nice...... Are you gonna paint this one to? I can't to see it all painted up.

jchav62 · 11-30-2009, 02:59 PM

thats going to be a slick! ride kat

frmula505 · 01-17-2010, 10:13 PM

Almost ready to paint? Do you have the sail panel custom cab trim for it? I decided to buy new ones for my truck, I have the used ones I had bought. Give me a call if interested.

4dranch · 11-30-2009, 03:06 PM

Thanks for the update Joe. Truck is looking good..

jchav62 · 01-20-2010, 12:23 PM

It's not ready for paint yet. Still waiting on my buddy to finish the door skins. Hopefully soon.

jchav62 · 03-01-2010, 02:12 PM

Forgot to post this. We got the truck home from the bodyman a couple of weekends ago! Looks awesome! The door skins are in primer, along with the fender tips and a few dents Abe fixed on the bed. I snapped a couple of pics, but I haven't downloaded them from the camera. I'll post them soon! We are very happy to have her home...

frmula505 · 03-01-2010, 02:16 PM

Sounds good, who's painting it. What color you going with?

We're not sure yet...on either one of those questions. It's hard for her to decide a color.

Let me know I can talk to my brother (actually I already told him you needed the truck painted).

Cool! We'll be out of town this weekend, but maybe one of these upcoming weekends we can cruise over to your place to get a ball park figure. We want a two-tone with side trim on this. She's leaning towards a 'Cascade Green' and Pearl white, with a fawn or pewter interior... That could change though. It would be nice to get an idea for a price.... I've also comtemplated doing it myself, but it's really difficult without a place to do it... besides, she really wants this thing pretty close to perfect.

This is the two-tone scheme we want:

4dranch · 03-01-2010, 11:50 PM

congrats Joe, keep us posted

What can I say? Type A personality!!! ha ha Love you Babe and anything you do will be great! Just like everything you have already done to my trokita.........
