She was a happy camper for sure! Now I just have to find some serious mounting hardware and get it installed. That is tomorrow's job...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-27-2016, 08:14 PM

I bet she did like it. I'm sure mounting it will be a job too.

I hope you had a merry Christmas as well. Ours was great. Santa forgot to bring my blower for my hemi, but what can ya do?

Mounting it was a major pain! I needed 6 hands!!

Our Christmas was excellent. Santa did not need to bring me anything, I just wanted to spend a day with the family, eating, going to Church, and just enjoying the day. Got my wish for sure!

Here is the lamp with the cover now on. Just hope I never have a bulb go out!

75Dually · 12-27-2016, 11:05 PM

OK, OK, I have been back on the truck for the past two evenings. Still doing bodywork on the drivers side. Probably a couple more days to get everything on that side finished up. I will take some progress pics tomorrow and show you what I have been doing. I have a couple of holes to fill where the old trim was on the rear of the cab on both sides. Once I get those cleaned up I can then shoot my first coat of primer on the roof. Yeah! Some progress!!

Stay tuned!

daddyjeep · 12-28-2016, 01:56 PM

The light turned out great. I really like it now that I can see the light coming through it. Glad you are back on the truck. I hope to get back on mine some day soon. I have a couple more hours of body work on the rockers and the body work on my cab will be done for now. I have to put a half shaft in my son's car this week, then maybe I can get back on my stuff.

75Dually · 01-02-2017, 07:00 PM

Sand, sand, sand, sand, repeat.... Have I mentioned before how much I like to sand... Let me tell ya! Found a couple of low spots, body filler is still drying in this shot. Should be able to have those quickly knocked out tomorrow after work. Lots more to do, but making progress!

Stay tuned!

75Dually · 01-02-2017, 08:26 PM

So here is one of the paint colors I am considering. It is a 2003 Saab lemon-lime. I've shot this color before on the roof on my 56 Buick. It changes a lot depending on the light, so it makes for an interesting color. Check it out and let me know what you think.

COS399 · 01-03-2017, 01:03 AM

The truck is coming around and looking like your getting closer to paint. I was about to ask you what color you were going to shoot and then your last post showed up. Do you have any other color choices for us? Are you thinking two tone or single?

daddyjeep · 01-03-2017, 02:08 PM

I like the green...as long as you are going two tone. Maybe the green and silver. That is just too much truck for a solid color. Of course this is just my opinion, you do what makes you happy.

Not sure about two tone at this time, just testing the water and getting some ideas right now.

Silver is a really good option if I go with a 2 tone. Also thought about anthracite, and maybe even some other shades of green.

COS399 · 01-03-2017, 07:53 PM

I'm sure whatever you pick will be nice. Here is a green and silver combination that looks cool.

You know it's hard on the jaw when it hits the floor so hard...

Wow what a great looking car! Yeah silver does set off green for sure. Thanks!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-03-2017, 10:02 PM

That green looks a lot better on your buick than the saab IMO.

2 tone would look sweet with air brushed mouldings. Win win. Haha

Great... First it's what color are you going to do, then how about green? Super! How about you do that in a 2 tone? Even better! Now you want airbrushed moldings!! What's next!?!? You probably want this thing done by LST!!

Oh yeah and I forgot it is winter time and someone dialed in a couple winter storms!

This hobby is not for the weak!

(I just messin' with you Diesel!)

Chris

I saw this the other day, its about 45mins away from me here in East Texas. I will PM you the ad for it. "Stainless steel AeroTravel air spoiler"

Looks like the one on that other dually you posted a picture of in one of you posts.

75Dually · 01-06-2017, 11:48 PM

Been working on the truck a little every night getting it ready for paint. Man it has been cold, but maybe that is the best time to sand. Hate doing it during the summer when all you do is sweat buckets, so not complaining. I think I have most of the major items addressed on the drivers side, the hood, and the roof. Tomorrow I will get it turned around and start on the passenger side. Just a little update...

75Dually · 01-07-2017, 07:40 PM

So I saw a truck done in the green I picked, and... Ug, now I'm back at square one! Dang it! Thought it would look a lot better. Well at least I did not purchase any paint yet. I have my eye on another base color. Not sure yet...

Stay tuned!

75Dually · 01-08-2017, 11:28 PM

Flipped the truck around in the shop today so I can work on the passenger side bodywork now.

I spent the time in between church today getting the bed leveled. I've been noticing that the rear passenger corner of the bed was not right. In the end I cut all the existing mounts, leveled the truck, then spent for what seemed like forever measuring all the points a million times. I finally got it set what I think is right on, and then welded everything back up. I plan on the future to make some heavier mounts instead of the 1" box tubing. Don't like doing things twice, and I want it super strong for the long run.

So much to do, and if the weather will permit hopefully primer the whole truck this week.

Stay tuned!!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-09-2017, 05:14 PM

Yes, it all needs done by LST!

Cold? Really? Just messing with ya. It's been cold here but I won't complain either because it'll be hot here again too soon too. We haven't gotten a lot of snow so I can't cry about the cold. Even though it has been pretty cool. Hovering below 10* for a while. (The highs) Haha

looking good brother!

75Dually · 01-20-2017, 12:09 AM

Believe it or not I have been working a ton on the truck lately, getting it ready for primer. Just nothing really to take any pics of to show you the progress because it is all just a ton of little work here and there.

However the UPS guy dropped off some new items this evening. My new marker lamps! They are from LMC. They look amazing and will look even better on the truck. The old OEM lamps are just junk and needed to be replaced. So I had to take a quick pic of them and give you guys a short update. I also got a new Devilbiss paint gun. I have another Devilbiss and a Sata, both are really good guns, but this model came highly recommended. Plus it came with 3 tips, 1.3, 1.5, and a 1.8. So I can't wait to try it out.

My plans are to have the truck ready to shoot by mid week next week. We had some really good rain over the weekend and that slowed my progress, but in West Texas we never complain about rain. We take it when we can get it!

LST is in 4 and 1/2 weeks...

Stay tuned!

travlinman · 01-20-2017, 12:34 AM

Happen to have part numbers for the markers? I need the exact ones for mine as well .

The amber part number is: 36-4456
The red part number is: 36-4454
The front fender marker is: LH 36-4460
RH 36-4461

These part numbers were right off my invoice, but I highly recommend that you double check these on the LMC website before you order them. You know measure twice cut once!

Hope that helps!

Thank you sir that helps greatly. Appreciate the help
