Things are going well right now, but we are mid-story at best. I'm going to forecast a pause in the action once I get all the pieces back to the house.

It originally had one so it will just need to be trimmed out and the retaining nut ring welded to it. It would be great if they made the replacement floors in the high jump configuration. A bucket seat ready version would be awesome too.

There is a good bit of stuff to weld up as of yet, cab corner, rockers, fuel filler and a few spots on the firewall. After that they will put all the sheet metal in epoxy primer. With that said, I don't think you are too far off.

Probably my favorite truck I've seen on this forum. I miss seeing it around here and I would rather have it that my fleetside any day. To me, THAT's perfect patina.

You should have seen it before the P.O. took a buffer to it. It was truely perfect then! Maybe I can dig up a pick and post it over in the "Just an Old Truck" thread.

Now that's funny when the shop is calling out the owner for not posting updates. Usually it's an owner starting a thread about how the shop has had the truck for a year and no work has been done.

Yep I'm sure. I like it like that. I would like one just like that then I would put some skinny tires back on it and cruise the full retro vibe!

Re: Project: Shiro
I would swap my fleet bed in a heartbeat for a stepper but since my truck has the factory lower trim it would mean filling holes and a full body repaint. Too much trouble for a truck that looks pretty good to begin with.

We always want what we don't have... at least I do.

Looks like they are moving along nicely on the cab Ernie. I'm glad you are happy with them so far.

Re: Project: Shiro
Ok, after spending the day in the back yard doing chores I spent an hour renaming pics so I can post them up in a way that makes sense and doesn't repeat old updates. I think we are up to the Right cab corner, so here it goes.

Nasty original cab corner...

New cab corner tacked in...
Name: Rt_CabCnr_2.jpg Views: 548 Size: 61.5 KB

Welded and ready to be massaged a bit to make it just right.

Very nice work! I wonder what they are using to clean or sand the metal so nicely.

Re: Project: Shiro
Been looking at what it takes to correctly install buckets and a console in a bench seat floor today and I'm not very comfortable with what is available. Member rogerkoop sells brackets to add to the bench seat floor but it doesn't appear to be a complete solution. I believe my only choice is to find and use a set of buddy buckets. If I do that, I may as well use a '68 front end right? So, I think I'll use this rainy day to start hunting for original '68 front sheet metal. Anyone need some very solid '71 front sheet metal?

Do you plan to sell it all? What about the steering wheel?
