Too cool! Looks like you're making nice progress so far, so hopefully the deadline won't be an issue. I'm thankful we were able to use my truck in our wedding.

Wow, just wow. I cannot even imagine the amount of love (read: work, dedication, perseverance, patience, etc.) that has gone into this truck.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
I haven't cut and buffed in a long long time. Using 3M products has been a pleasure.
I use 1500, 3000 & 5000 grit, it was pretty amazing. This is after 5000, freaking shines ![]() ![]() After 3 types of polish, smooth as glass: ![]()

Man there is a lot of bolts in this bed and I'm not done yet, need to drill bolts at the edge of the bed and tubs.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
So once you're all done with the bed whats your plan for getting it back on the frame without damaging any of the awesome work you've done? 4-man lift, or some bed-lifting contraption?

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
It's sitting on the frame now, I use the lift to raise and lower it to get to the under side.

Ah okay. Damn I wish I had a lift . . . would have made removing the cab and bed so much easier
