NICE!
I've got a '62 Long/Step 4x4 carcass that I'm going to bring back from the dead.
I like that wrap-around step bumper on yours--I've got a lead on one for mine.
Also have two leads on winches for mine.

I really like the proportions of the long-step 4x4 trucks, as well as the usefulness of them.

just an update to what she looks like now. figured out shes a longbed step side that i cant find bedsides for, took the wine barrel off the back and refinished the wood. put in a new hood, new fender, and new bumper to get rid of all the bondo it had, and installed a windshiled sleepysal was kind enough to give me.

sorry i never sent you a pic sal, here it is!

I've probably posted mine in this thread in the past but here it is again. Mine is a 66 C20, and unlike most everyone I didn't want a lowered truck. So mine has all new 3/4 ton springs, 31" BFG's and a front yard paint job(hvlp). This was my work truck up until a yr ago, tool boxes, compressor, guns etc. Nothin special but it always got attention on job sites. Before and after shots.

Say, what paint did you use on the exterior to get that light blue? I'm looking for something very similar.

I took the original blue paint code to the local supplier and had a gallon of single stage mixed up. I sprayed my saw horses and it was a little too light so I got extra blue tint and added until my wife and daughter made me stop and that's the color. I think I added about 4oz of the blue tint. The white is Bombay ivory. This was only the second paint job I've ever done, and I painted it over the course of a couple weekends. I learned that outside temperature has a HUGE effect on paint. My paint flowed the best when it was about 60° outside. I painted the wheels, tool box and tailgate when it was 57° and they probably came out the best, no wetsanding needed . That's just my beginner experience. I used a medium harder and reducer, a finish line 4 gun and my 60gal compressor. Then wet sanded the snot out of it and went through the buffing compounds. It cost me about $425 in pant then another $100 in sandpaper and buffing compound. I had a quote from Earl schieb(cheap painter) for $2000, which was more than I wanted to spend on a cheapo paint job, so I just did it. I learned a lot and will paint the 58 myself as well, hopefully it will be even better.

Nail pounder. Did you have the seat recovered or is that a cover that can be bought via catalogue?
