Looks good and your extended cab paint has burnt heat spots into my new 24" computer screen, thanks!!

If it was a 68 truck it would be on there.

Dont cut the bed down, Its perfect as-is.

**BAD4X4** · 02-12-2008, 02:56 PM

I can't wait till you get this thing done. It's gonna be awesome. Good luck, your doing a great job!

VROD383 · 03-01-2008, 01:02 AM

This is one sick project. Going with the four doors is the way to go.
Cut the bed!!!!
If you don't this still going to be a good looking truck.

72CREWCAB · 03-18-2008, 10:42 AM

We need updates!!!!

Rokcrln · 04-03-2008, 07:38 AM

Well it went for blasting then some how showed up back at my place for a few finishing touches. I will be filling holes in the doors, floor, doors and a few dash mods. I will also be pulling a few dents and patching some more rust spots that showed up after blasting above the pass front door in the jamb. Here are a few pics. I still say this thing needs to be about 2feet shorter

Also I will be installing a gas door.

I was using my 1/2 ton Avalanche but it is a little bit to o much for it some time. I am using a 16 foot trailer that the truck barely sits on with the rear fo the bed hanging over the end of the trailer. The rear axle just barely makes it on the trailer. I have been using a buddy's 1 ton extd cab lately which helps a lot. Without the engine and trans and no front end on it the front is a little bit light and I get soem sway from the trailer from so much weight on the rear. I guess I should have bought a longer trailer but hopefully I will not be towing it too much for awhile.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-13-2008, 07:29 PM

The Crew looks great! What color are you going to paint this one?

R/

extd56 · 04-24-2008, 09:12 PM

The color is probably going to be medium blue with a white top. I got a few more parts blasted and primered and ready to install them on the truck.

extd56 · 04-30-2008, 12:48 AM

I put the 35" tires on the truck to see what it will look like. I had to let some air out of the tires to get it back in the shed. Looks like I need to make it higher.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-30-2008, 01:13 AM

That looks awesome! You're going to have one classy rig when thats done, uuhh, I mean 2 classy rigs.... wait a minute, how many do you have?

extd56 · 04-30-2008, 05:16 AM

Too many I am told. I did get 2ND place with my 38 CHrylser yesterday at a local car show

Scott Webster · 04-30-2008, 05:26 AM

As if the four door wasn't putting it over the top, those tires really set it off nice!

MrBeast · 04-30-2008, 06:08 AM

Must look away.

Must turn away!

Not yet, he is also doing the paint on my 67 extended cab truck. I am about ready to take it back to get the outside painted.

I am getting it done locally here in Vacaville at a Maaco shop. He has been doing a lot of the local hot rods lately. The painter does a good job and he has a few good body men working for him to get the job done.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-10-2008, 02:01 PM

Very cool. Can't wait to see this one done!
