Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

Satin Blue with Black Interior I did. I'm trying to decide which direction I want to go so I know what color to do the interior and so I can order my seat covers.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

Just wondering, I like the idea!!! If I had it to do over I would go the direction your going, Ls, patina, and bags. As far as what you posted above I like the looks of the "flat" silver one. But as I look at them, I like um all. With the parts you are gathering up, your ideas, and the do's and dont's from the last build this thing is going to be awesome. Keep at it Keith, I'll be watching

I like the silver/grey or ether of the red schemes with red interior.

Thanks guys, the first picture is actually supposed to be Flat white but it does look like silver for some reason. Right now I just need to figure out what interior color I want to run so I can order my seat covers.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

looking good! should be a cool build. we are running almost the same size tires! I was on the fence for the fronts. I went with a 245/40/20. I'm curious to see if there is much difference.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

It looks like you're getting off to a great start. I'll put my vote in for the silver with the red interior. I know you say it's supposed to be white but have you tried a silver one in your Digital Paint Booth program?

Thanks, I've decided to definitely run a red interior. I plan on everything being Red, including all the metal. I'll figure out the exterior color when the time comes.

I don't think you'll notice much of a difference between the 245/40/20 and the 255/40/20. The Toyo STII's only came in the 255/40 so that's what I went with, plus I had that size on the front of my last build and liked it.

I have done a Silver one but the program doesn't have a satin silver. I can post up a picture later, I have it saved on my laptop at home.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

Knowing that the first pic is satin white (even though it looks like light gray primer), I like the idea. But that all red pic is NICE!!! The red interior is a good choice, either exterior color will look good.

Thanks Mike, yeah it took me about 9 months but I'm back for good now. Part of my game plan is to let someone else fix the rust in the cab. I can do it, but it would take me forever to do and I get frustrated easily. I'm better off letting somebody else do it so I can focus on getting the frame and drivetrain done. I have a buddy that is going to do it for a very reasonable price and also bodywork and paint the inside of the cab Red for me. This way when I get the cab back I can put my interior in and put the truck together. After it is on the road and all the bugs are worked out, I'll think about painting the outside

Thanks Duane, the final color will be either White, Red or Black with the solid Red interior. I have a long time to figure that out though. For now the exterior will be probably be in primer for a while.

Glad to see you are back Keith. Can't believe I took this long to follow this one since I knew it was coming a few weeks ago...

As like everyone else has said, sorry to hear about the divorce. Glad you have a good positive outlook now.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

Glad to see your back at it. Flat white with red interior is a color combo I thought would look real cool. I've tossed around silver/gray with red myself.

Looks like a solid plan and pretty sure you'll be driving yours before me. I'm walking in your footsteps in constant mind changing. I've now got a plan but not enough cash to make it happen all at once.

Thanks Karl, yeah it took you long enough to post I can say I'm in a much better place mentally then I was just 6 months ago! I accepted that everything happens for a reason!

I appreciate the vote of confidence Ryan but I don't know if I'll be driving before you I at least would like to hear the motor run at some point this year! Believe me I know how hard it is to stick to the original plan but that is why I'm putting out the money while I can for the parts I want! I don't plan on doing things like the suspension, drivetrain and brakes over again! Wheels are a different thing altogether, I get bored easily so I'm sure this truck will have many sets in its lifetime

My wheels came in today! I know this is cliche but pics do not do these justice! Very happy with the grey centers, I only have to worry about polishing the lips now They only took about a month to come in too, Billet specialties definitely has a quick turn around!

I actually thought about the Bonneville's but with a brushed finish. When I priced them out, I got sticker shock They are definitely beautiful wheels, maybe next time.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

Finally had some progress today. I bought a cab lifter from Auto Body Toolmart that attaches to my motor puller. It was definitely worth every penny. It allowed me to lift the cab off by myself in about 5 minutes. I then pulled the little old 6 cylinder and manual trans out. Tomorrow I'll pull the front suspension out so I can get started on mocking up my Choppin Block front suspension.
