Re: Lost My 65
digging the blue denim paint job on your truck, great alternative to spraying, looks good and does the job.

Re: Lost My 65
I'm pumped!
Concrete guys set up forms in my barn today. They're pouring Monday. 30 days to cure, and I'm Rockin! I couldn't afford to pour the whole thing but I'm getting 16' wide by 24' deep, that I'll enclose for a nice clean shop area. Man! I'm excited!

Re: Lost My 65
They're telling you 30 days to cure? Are they saying to stay off of the slab until then?

Re: Lost My 65
No it normally takes that long or half that to cure to walk on and put stress on the concrete. Me and my Pa built our garage at our last house and it was in the fall. Should be a quicker time being summer unless they said that so it gives time to fully set and not crack under stress. Up here I don't know the climate change as much as I do Michigan so your guess is as good as mine Captainfab.

Re: Lost My 65
There should be no reason a guy couldn't walk on a 4" slab the next day. Sawing releif cuts the following day is common. You probably wouldn't want to drive a car or truck on it for 2 weeks though. Of course that also depends on what if any additives were in the mix. I'd have to check with my son for the specifics as he is quite experenced with concrete.

You both are correct. In garages of new construction, we will put down roofing paper to protect the concrete from all the foot traffic that it will get by other contractors. It's surely safe to walk on. But, 28 days is the safe wait time before sealing. You can walk on it, but you don't start using it for a garage/shop for 30 days because you want to seal it first. So, when I said; "30 days to cure, and I'm Rockin!" - in 28 days I'll seal it, and 2 days later I'll pull my truck in and begin doing my th350 and 12-bolt swap. I'm excited to start working on my 65 knowing I won't be crawling around on gravel.

Re: Lost My 65
In the pic above I used a photo app to tint the buddy seat blue.
The seat is actually green, but it's in nice original condition so I plan to dye/color it blue. Here's the seat all cleaned up and prepped for vinyl paint. Hope to paint it this weekend.  .This is the color I plan to use; http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=6839376

Re: Lost My 65
Nice job! What did you use to dye it? Did you do it blue just to add some color contrast inside?

Re: Lost My 65
I used SEM;
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=6839376 I wanted blue because that's what my buddy buckets were in the 80's. I went with a dark blue to better blend with the black seats.

Re: Lost My 65
Keeping with my cheap paint so I can use it as a truck, I finally painted inside the bed.

I really have always had good experience with Rustoleum. Much of the redneck body repairs with bondo brand body filler and old rustoleum paint survived all these years since I sold her 25+ years ago. Doing it again now should last me until I'm 75. - It's a truck.

I put some clear on the hood to see if I like it.
I'm not sure.

Love the 65. I might be a little prejudice about the color

Re: Lost My 65
Decided to adjust the brakes.
Couldn't get the star to turn, so I took the drum off to see what the issue was. Found a spring was preventing the star from turning.  ... Inspected everything while I had it apart. The older man who had it took great mechanical care of it.. . .    . . It appears everything is pretty new. Even the tierods. jacked one wheel up and then the other, trying to wiggle things, and everything is solid but some play in the steering box.
