Looks like a super clean truck to start with. The picture with the bed back on looks soooooo good! It should look really good with the Magnetos on it! And thanks alot for your service to our country!!!

MMMMMMMM, that LS2 gives me a chub

nibs · 12-18-2010, 08:27 AM

Ok, 7 months later, and I FINALLY HAVE AN UPDATE!!!
Here is what has happened the last few months...

I left you all right as we got the compressor/tanks mounted. We then trew the bed on and got the truck in its final coat of primer and initial guide coat. Oh yea, and played around with the bags

Next up was stripping the rest of the truck of everything. Got the front clip off, engine out, interior stripped

Ok, so Im gonna get some heat and i might get some love, but I cut the dash. I smoothed out the radio, ashtray, ignition hole, climate control, and cig lighter hole.

Then shaved the firewall. the wire rail and heater boxes shaved.

Gave the frame the cleaning its needed for the last 20+ years

Shot some color on the thing

Coated up the frame, nice and shiny

Sprayed the interior flat black. The plan with this is to have the whole inner cab flat black, while keeping the dash and the doors the exterior color. It is an actual flat black paint with flattened clear, not just flat black primer if you are wondering

Gave the temporary engine some color love and some chrome goodies we had laying around the shop.

Then put her back in

As she sits right now. I ordered all new window rubber and door mouldings. Once the glass and shocks are in, the bed goes on for the last time!!!

The bed sitting next to her same year sister(aka my dads 71) I am rhino lining just the rippled bed floor, just in case you were wondering why the floor isnt painted

Oh, the person who guesses the color correctly gets a prize!

c10layinlow · 12-22-2010, 02:42 AM

when u welded the filler on the wire gutter on the firewall did u just tach it in an then run some beads an the grind them down? thats my nest step on my firewall it just seems like it might be a paint to grind them welds down.. thanks for any imput bro

nibs · 12-22-2010, 05:13 AM

Yea, thats exactly what was done. If you have a good grinder, its shouldnt take too much to grind down.

355GoldieGM · 12-22-2010, 05:33 AM

nice build man, looks sweet, how much did that air ride set you back?
