Awesome!! Glad you got it back-now let the fun commence!

Those reenactment pictures are downright scary. That would definitely have been a "pucker up" kind of moment.

....no doubt!!!

Joe, if you havent been to a paint supply, get ready to be confused and then feel like

when youre trying to make a decision. The paint fumes are thick in the one I frequent.

The cab looks great, and LILRED stole my thunder, I was thinkin' 'the full monte'.....

collins10672 · 02-21-2009, 03:05 AM

joe your cab even though it has a little work ahead of it,man it looks great to be 45 yrs. old.i wish i had mine to that stage.i have a cousin that owns a body shop and they have always used a quality epoxy primer on freshly blasted metal.epoxy will seal the metal as well as the factory edp coating or better.he had blasted his frame on the 41 willy's coupe he owns and just worked on the car every now and then because the customers cars came first since he makes a living at it.to make a long story short he left his frame outside for 5 yrs. with only epoxy on it and it never rusted any and i saw this with my own eyes and always used it myself after that.it passed the test for me.

thanks for the testimonial

**ChiefRocka** · 02-21-2009, 08:46 AM

Wow the cab came out super clean man !!! It's so nice to have a fresh canvas to start with....Looks like you have some work ahead of you !!

It's gonna be bad-arse when it's done !!

Alan's Classic · 02-21-2009, 09:44 AM

Joe, it's looking good. I used Dupont's DP 90 to cover bare metal.

scotts62 · 02-21-2009, 11:46 AM

Heck yeah man looks good!

I knew there was a B&H on 39th, that's the one i use but didn't know there was one in Norman, that's cool.

4dranch · 02-21-2009, 03:13 PM

super nice Joe.
can't wait to see it roll across the bridge into Memphis in April for the .super chevy show

The 39th store is another sub store. Home base is Reno and Blackwelder

jason65 · 02-22-2009, 01:04 AM

Cool pics. It's weld and grind time.

I bet your wife is excited.

she is extremely excited! she can't wait to shoot it first though!!!

I just got back from KC a bit ago, long day.
went and met Tony(LILRED66)
he is a hell of a nice guy with LOTS of sweet OE parts.
I got the upper and lower radiator mounts and one of his upper radiator hard pipe kits, along with a BIG wish-list. I highly recommend him. He is very passionate about these trucks and will bend over backwards to make sure you are happy.
A big THUMBS UP to you Tony!!!
I will definitely be calling on ya for more stuff in the future!!

tomorrow is supposed to be nice, mid 60's and clear!
going to try to get the cab ready to haul out to Scott's family's shop in Tuttle to spray it.
got some seam sealer, weatherstrip adhesive, and tar like substance to remove first.

Thanks for all the positive comments!!!!

jason65 · 02-22-2009, 07:06 PM

Cool. Good progress for the 66.

kizer · 02-22-2009, 07:31 PM

Wow thats nice to see so clean and bare. Now I'm really jealous.

Your enactment really cracked me up. I wasn't sure what you where doing at first, but I figured it out. hahahaha

scotts62 · 02-22-2009, 09:32 PM

Yeah no kidding! If i was behind him on that off ramp i would have been thinking wohoo im going to get a new truck!

danzka4u · 02-22-2009, 09:40 PM

Looks great thats how I lowerd mine wrangler coils in the back and cut the front

yeah man, I saw your truck when i was researching the coils, love your truck!
looks like you use it too, huh?

Alan's Classic · 02-22-2009, 10:41 PM

Dupont's DP90 is pricey but does go along way. Omni has something similiar and I have used it and haven't had a problem. I don't know the cost, a buddy had some left over from a project he did.

protrash64 · 02-22-2009, 10:41 PM

What did you pick up for seam sealer, Joe???

nothing yet....this is all new to me....trial by fire

seam seal after DP90????
but guess i need to wait until after the repairs also, huh?

protrash64 · 02-22-2009, 10:56 PM

Up in your post you mentioned it; its been years since primering mine and I couldnt remember what I used. I think it would go on after dp90....Alan probably knows for sure. Take some pics of you and Scott beatin; on that cab!!!

Alan's Classic · 02-22-2009, 11:04 PM

One quart is all you need. I sprayed all of my stuff and still haven't used a quart. I only put one good medium/wet coat on. I don't have the can with me or I'd tell you what they recommend. Seam sealer goes on over primer.

joe231 · 02-22-2009, 11:06 PM

will do Jeff, the wife is going to shoot it, she loves to paint

I got all the old seam sealer out today...there is some stuff under the dash that acts, looks and smells just like rubber when I was using wire wheel on it....it is some tough crud, might have to try some thinner on it..

*LILRED66* · 02-22-2009, 11:30 PM

Joe:

Thanks for bringing your wife and boys up to see me in Kansas City. You guys probably thought I was going to keep you there all day and night talking about 4-5-6 Chevy trucks. I hope you made it home safely and thanks again for your kind words and your business.

Don't forget to have Megan sign up as a member, so she can contribute during the big build. Take care and let me know if your boys need a truck to drive at the OK function this summer.

Let the fun begin.
