Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Bed is completely painted . Now I need to get the wood installed and put it back on the truck. Never intended to make it a show truck but I need to redo one fender . Got a bug and a run. Also had to settle for a little less gloss so I could get the motling out of the paint . Lots of misting ,only problem with single stage metallic paints.
At least it's on the fender I hope to replace . Put a 67 with spare tire mount on my 68. Hope to find a real nice 68 fender.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I'd say more than acceptable, very nice job! A trick I learned a long time ago from an "old timer": When painting a single stage metallic that tends to mottle is after the last coat is sprayed take whats left in the cup and fill the cup with reducer. Then drop the pressure to about 20 lbs. Open the fan pattern wide open and mist over the whole part. The reducer will melt in and the metallic will settle evenly. It worked for me on a 77 step side I sprayed years ago.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Really didn't think I would like the saddle fawn color . I was contemplating 503 green for the truck but now I really like the color.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Wood is working out nicely. Drilling all the holes then going to seal it . Need to hit it with some 220 on the da sander first . Decided to leave it raw no stain . Just seems to go better with the paint .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Looks nice! I want to eventually do something with my truck's dash. The vacant gauge hole on the right will be for trans temp, and the tach will replace the vacuum gauge as in your location. I'd like to do something with the gas gauge, with a way to tell fuel level in the main and saddle tanks. I know that that option was out there; I just need to research it. It looks goofy to have that huge gauge for the fuel level, to me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally located a new (reman) gearbox. Claims its a 3.5 turn. Almost completely installed. I just have to finish hooking up the steering shaft and linkage. It's a PITA to do by yourself, on your back with the sun blazing on you, after a full day shift at work, and sweat running down into your eyes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not today, but this past weekend I did use it for it's intended purpose. Took it to my cabin for the weekend and brought back some firewood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks . I'm waiting on the oil finish to arrive. Had to order it as it's not a stocked item around here . Penofin marine oil . I could have taken a ride to the coast some marinas carry it. Should be here tomorrow

If you make that truck too nice, all you are ever going to haul in it is ass.
