The wifes truck

[So.Cal.Super]

looking good!, you planning on painting the frame?

[Tinkermc]

wheels look great

[hammered68]

Awesome build, definitely will be following!

[longbedlgheadache]

Yes Im planning on power washing then sanding the frame and will paint it as well..I had planned on doing that before I changed brakes and tires....but I wanted to see the wheels on so I changed course a little..still havent primed the cab yet have almost all of it sanded I dont seem to follow my plan very well but hey when something is frustrating me then I go to something different to regroup. I have already primed my doors my buddy was happy to point out that I had missed some dents and imperfections in the bed so I had to postpone priming it...nothing very seamless on this truck even with new metal...

Also, while sanding the cab I decided to go ahead and order a tilt steering column and shaft I should get those monday or tuesday will be a lot easier to change in its current status

[longbedlgheadache]

Having difficulty sticking to my build plan..had to put off priming and work on front end conversion then had to take a break and install gas tank between frame..not sure I did this correctly input would be much appreciated...yes Im a slacker sorry not much progress its too hot

I finally found some time to prep my cab for priming should have it primed and ready for paint in the next couple of days.

[longbedlgheadache]

I have ties to a car dealership..so I get special exceptions on taking up space at a body shop and shipping/storage..so on so forth...installing vintage air today and cutting in the doors for fitting..

[longbedlgheadache]

[longbedlgheadache]

she is absolutely clueless on it. I have convinced her that I am parting the truck out..which isnt a complete lie I have a ton of parts I am cleaning up to sell so it fits right in....allows me my grease stains and dirty clothes when I come home from work.. I need some help on my sons project I am rewiring his 87 chev swb and cant for the life of me figure out what the box with 4 wires dropping down is....attatching a picture of it...I would appreciate any help its a v8 also

[longbedlgheadache]

better picture of my cab corners in the truck and inner fenders painted.

[longbedlgheadache]

Attatching core support and inner fenders tomorrow hopefully as well as carpet dash cowl cover and reattaching a/c condenser

[longbedlgheadache]

inside is reassembled with the exception of the new buckets with need some additional modifications to the mounting bracket...starting to look like a nice truck..inside anyway
