Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Thanks Mike and thanks for the pics from LST. One of these years I need to go there, I spent all weekend drooling over all the beautiful trucks on IG.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I know that you don't need my advise but this is one of those projects seen that looks great on the build up with the patina and stance, no paint job is necessary for now, why spend the time and money to paint something that most is trying to achieve.
New paint on the inside maybe. This is NOW and going to be badass when done. |

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I'm in the same boat with my project "orangepeel" a 52 A.D. truck that I have been working on for A LONG time.
I build car's/trucks for a living and can never find time or space for my own stuff. The plan was to just leave the body as is and get it running and life got in the way ![]() Best of luck to you on your's! Just think...you will be able to take the baby for a ride soon!! Mark.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Are you sticking with the 68 front end? Or does it depend on what you find in 507 to match?

I've decided to add lower trim since all of my rust repair is below the lower trim line. This will make it a bit easier to blend the new and old paint since the trim will divide it. How's that knee feeling? |

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I hear you Keith, I had to sell some of my toys to gather some funds. I just don't want to wait any longer... I plan on having them fix the cab rust and paint the firewall at least. Getting married, buying a house and kids really put my project on the back burner... Nate

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Hey Keith! Sitting here at work on a Saturday and read thru the build. I hadn't seen it since page 2 or 3 and just seen the IG updates. Coming along nicely and congrats on your son! They sure make life funner. Mine is 6 now and maybe Ill finish the truck before he's 16.
PS I've had that cab lifter in my ABTM cart for months, might make the plunge now after seeing how much it helped you out.

Also, on my Instgram account there is a picture of my buddy's 62 C10 that was painted with latex house paint. It funny he has about 300-400 in paint and body, people go crazy for his truck at shows.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
No progress on the truck. I've spent the last few months completing some home improvement projects in preparation of the little guy coming next month. I don't anticipate getting much done this year, maybe in 2018

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Keith what do you plan on doing interior wise? Are you sticking with the blue factory theme?
I'm going with all 507 light blue with some medium blue here and there. It gets tricky to determine the shade of blues from pictures so it's difficult to find parts. |

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I'm probably going to stick as close to I can with 507 light blue. I really want everything to match, but I know it gets hard cause aftermarket parts seem to have different colors from one part to the next! I'll probably just die everything the same color so it all matches!
