Looks great! Flat black

4dranch · 10-01-2008, 09:15 AM

Thanks, Live Rust

**ChiefRocka** · 10-01-2008, 10:01 AM

SEM trim black is what alot of folks are using as well....I plan to body work and repaint mine some day too.

Currently I'm rock'n the OSH Primer Black !!

4dranch · 10-01-2008, 10:09 AM

OSH is a brand name? I did find and buy some flat black manifold paint last night. will work on getting them smoothed up and painted. Where's the best place to get the flat black paint at for the body?
and best for the lowest $$$$.
Thanks, David

Id call john deer dealer

scot 6 feet eleven · 10-01-2008, 11:43 AM

Epoxy primer works good too thats what i have , but the more u wipe it and wash it you will get shiny spots, we used dupont hot rod black on our 49 shop truck but was spendy stuff

4dranch · 10-01-2008, 12:14 PM

This may sound a little stupid but is there a semi shiney flat back??

scot 6 feet eleven · 10-01-2008, 12:20 PM

I think guys add a little clear in the final coat of flat balck and that keeps it from fading, but keep in mind i know enough about body work to be dangerous

GMC65Guy · 10-01-2008, 04:08 PM

The key is to use reg. black and a flat clear to give it that flat black look with good protection

4dranch · 10-02-2008, 07:01 AM

Thanks 6'11" and 65GUY,
I didn't even know there was such a thing as flat clear. learn something new every day.

4dranch · 10-07-2008, 11:41 AM

Finally got the radiator hoses in. And got everything back together.
Now back to filling in some holes and some body work. I have some friends coming over this week and we may get her lowered a little. Check out the guard cat in the last picture.

That looks awesome man! Glad I could help...It's almost like a living negative photo...

4dranch · 10-08-2008, 08:59 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean. Thanks Cort.

4dranch · 10-16-2008, 01:16 PM

Got to do some work on the passenger side last night.. turned out okay..

Joey~AP · 10-16-2008, 04:33 PM

4dranch · 10-16-2008, 04:38 PM

Thanks, Joey

Alan's Classic · 10-16-2008, 06:44 PM

It feels good to make some progress doesn't it? Thanks for the updates and it's looking good.

4dranch · 10-17-2008, 09:48 AM

Thanks, Alan
Really does feel good,,,it's a great stress reliever.

4dranch · 10-22-2008, 07:25 AM

This past weekend I wanted to try my luck at lowering the truck a little. I hope I am not the only one this happens to, but as soon as I start on something I find something else that needs fixin. I started on the rear leaf springs and noticed that the "U" bolts were all but wore through. I looked at all the local parts stores and no one carried the size I needed. But I did find some supper nice folks at a local company, Custom Springs who made me some new ones and only charge 9 bucks a peice. link to there web site http://www.custom-springs.com/

4dranch · 10-22-2008, 07:33 AM

Took these pictures last night when I finished with the front. Pictures are with cell phone my camera batteries were dead. It's lowered old school, short on $$$$ at the moment. but turned out cool,, If I do say so myself.

I went down about 3-4 inches in the front and back. Will get some better pictures posted soon.

283 Man · 10-22-2008, 08:39 AM

Looks cool David, love the stance

**ChiefRocka** · 10-22-2008, 09:06 AM

Look'n good man !!

The stance does look nice...Keep it up, your doing a good job.
