I'm thinking I am going to go with a wood bed. Hope to have something to show for that idea over the next couple weeks...

mooseknuckles · 03-04-2011, 12:29 PM

Thanks, it has been a long project and still has a long way to go.

dv8customs · 03-11-2011, 03:56 PM

Okay, I am planning to do a wood bed but I haven't yet decided on the stain color or the bed strips. Since the truck is currently black I am leaning towards black stain with unpolished SS strips. Once I get the truck painted I will redo the wood a more appropriate color. Any thoughts?

Conundrum · 03-11-2011, 07:17 PM

I would go with the black stain and leave it black after paint. Just my opinion.

dv8customs · 04-03-2011, 09:15 PM

Getting it back together for TexMex. Unfortunately it will still look just like it did at Turkey Drag.

Of course it's still has no engine so my buddy is going to tow it with his tow pig

wileecoyote427 · 04-03-2011, 10:01 PM

i read this in a old truckin mag guy used the same color he painted his truck reduced it down and used that on the wood lookd really slick they way the color went into the grain

ratty 46 · 04-03-2011, 10:43 PM

Well .... if ya gonna get towed ... it might as well be something just as kewl.

Enjoy.

I can not wait to see this drive under its own power.

3r!c84 · 04-09-2011, 06:19 PM

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-09-2011, 11:04 PM

Looks killer..

dv8customs · 04-10-2011, 01:32 AM

Thanks guys

Here's one with the hood on. I need to trim some off the bottom of the hood because it is hitting the inner fender and won't quite go down far enough.

cletis · 04-10-2011, 08:53 AM

Don't take this the wrong way but, I LOVE THIS TRUCK! This build is the reason I joined this forum. I have an '81, when I started doing some research and everything I wanted to address you have covered. Every modification looks perfect, this is what I want to build.
Thanks for the inspiration!!!

dv8customs · 04-10-2011, 06:28 PM

Thanks

The hood came out great. Did you put the wood down? Just when you think this truck can't get better along comes another post showing you it can.

Looks great dv8! I agree the hood looks awesome. Just like the rest of the truck.

Thanks guys, the hood is one of my favorite mods. Haven't done the wood floor yet but it is still on the to do list.

ccreddell · 04-11-2011, 07:40 PM

Curly maple with a stain that compliments whatever color you decide to paint it would be awesome! You still working out beside your house? Or are you in a garage now? Oh, and hows the kid doing? Truck is looking great, btw......

Still working outside unfortunately. During my backyard photoshoot the other day I let my son behind the wheel

Doesn't even have an engine and it makes me smile to sit behind the wheel too
