Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Hey thanks very much gimmy 64. Still trying to track down the history on the truck, I do know & have a photo of the original selling dealership in Alberta but no info on who bought it or how many owners it had prior to coming to Ontario. I am the 5th and hopefully the final owner of this truck in Ontario.

Very impressive! Both the Jerry can and stake rails add a nice touch of authenticity.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I sprayed the orange side of the bed today with some primer just to cover up the orange. I figured black would look better then orange with the blue. Maybe I will do the other side tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Best of luck to ya Crowdaddy. All I know is that the Vin plate was on the driver's side B - pillar on a little tin plate. Other than that, it's a guessing game from there.

Put the final coats of satin clear on the customized steering wheel (now 15" in diameter).

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Steering wheel turned out beautifully. That's going to be a nice looking interior all put together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Spent ~12 hours over the weekend sanding down the A-pillars, dash, firewall, kickpanels, floor, and rear wall, then getting it into primer. I'm chomping at the bit to get the interior into finished paint. The firewall, floor, and rear wall will be satin black (matching the exterior of the truck), while the A-pillars, dash, and kickpanels will match the interior roof (silver hammertone). The floor will eventually receive a "full floor" black vinyl floor mat, and a re-pop insulation panel will cover the firewall, so the only satin black paint you'll see inside the cab will be the lower rear wall (and likely a portion of the door panels).

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I got those mirrors from a local junk yard 2 years ago. Had to get a water pump pulley and it was off a v8 truck. 63 c30 and the block was torn down. Went to take a leak and walked back and kicked the pulley half hidden in the dirt. Lol. I got the spotlight off ebay while on deployment for less than 50 bucks with all hardware and I got the jerry can at harbor freight. So far the junkyard has pulled through for me last three times. I Last got two flasher switches and a dealer installed extinguisher with bracket. So far so good and yet so much more to do. And that's house paint lol. I don't mind it but want to do a blue with white scheme and convert over to a 4x4 running gear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Some of the outside. Still lots to do but the entire drivetrain has been replaced and all wear parts are new, so it's virtually new. Few tweaks to make still, but pretty happy. Sorry for the blurriness, dirty cell phone lens.
