I like the idea of a blue upper / silver lower. that's just the reverse of what most people would do. how about printing a B&W picture of the truck & then taking some colored markers to it to get an idea.

Did you use part of the bread van frame ?
Beautiful truck 😊
I have a 38 dually too and need to do a custom frame like yours
Any info you could provide would be sweet 🇨🇦
I’ve read this thread a few times but still not clear on the frame .

I did think about using the breadvan frame...parallel, straight, heavy duty frame rails would have worked well. It was just easier at the time to trade the van off in it's entirety. Depending on your end goals, making your frame from scratch might be the easiest approach.

Still being blocked and smoothed, but coming along...

Looks great . Crazy the amount of time body work takes . And you started with a good truck! It's amazing what we have to fix up here in the rust belt. You guys scrap stuff we would think is gold daily.

Keep up the great work.

MrBeast · 02-18-2018, 07:57 PM

Me personally, I would do metal flake gold and some black pin striping on there.

Yep, lots of time. Scott's doing it right though.

I think it would really make the truck unique especially with the right pin-striping.

We're pretty much stuck on the blue/silver...thanks though!

Awesome looking truck

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-17-2018, 09:19 PM

Maybe I missed it but did you weld shut or use filler over the internal cab roof seams? In one of the photos it looks like they’re no longer visible.

If welded, was this problematic, or just slow to keep from warping?

If filled, did you use filler with fiber in it aka “kitty hair” filler or just ordinary filler?

Thanks for any info.

RockTonka · 03-18-2018, 11:28 PM

Hey Dan,

I welded all the interior seams...slowly. Post# 741, page 30.

Still smoothing the bodywork, lots of detail work...

RockTonka · 05-11-2020, 11:57 PM

The best part of all this is the love that Scotts62 has for us...

RockTonka · 11-20-2020, 02:21 AM

Scott still loves us...

RockTonka · 11-24-2020, 07:39 PM

Scott's unwavering love for us is reflected in everything he does...

color on the hood!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2020, 11:32 PM

The color looks great and I love the bantering between you 2.

RockTonka · 11-26-2020, 12:45 AM

Thanks Ryan!

We picked up the hood and rad/latch cover today, it was nice seeing the color in the sun...also got our first good look at the contrast between paint and powder coating.
