2k'd the bed and mounted it. i need to shim the front of the cab up a bit to get the gaps right. now i gotta finish the inside of the bed and paint it, and then on to the rusty front fenders and inner fenders. also gonna build my exuast soon and need a new radiator. but these things will come as the wallet allows................

[swamp rat]

A bed bolt kit will come with 1/4" rubber spacers, looking at the body lines you will need front and back spacers, possibly final adjust of the cab mounts.

So i get that you primed the bed but what is 2k'd?? Sorry long day for me i guess.

[gdavis]

It looks good from here. Keep up the good work and keep posting pictures. Looks goes a long way.

[mcbassin]

Nice progress Dean! Love the pictures. thanks for sharing.

[Dean'smeanmachine]

swamp rat: when i said 2k'd i was referring to 2k high build primer, thanks for the info, i will have to check out the kit

gdavis: thank you!

mcbassin: thanks!

close to original . but im sort of leaning toward more of a yellow than the ochre. but its going to be two tone like the original theme. i also had a couple ideas but im not sure yet. either im going to do the original layout or do white quarter panel yellow in the middle and white roof. or all yellow with white roof. im not sure. but i have plenty of time to think about it. and im going to paint it myself
