Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
So I cut out the loop part that interferes and patched it up with some flatstock

Used the metal lathe at the school shop today to make these spacers that will be a part of the power steering box adapter plate.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Did lots of cleaning on the framerails, also for the new gearset that I'll be installing in the rear end soon

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thanks Anthony, so far I've been painting lots of stuff like this with rustoleum gloss black reduced through my gun, has a nice look and is really tough, plus it's way cheaper than say por15

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
your front end is looking good . I cant wait to see the color your painting your truck ..
I used rustoleum semi gloss black on my buddies frame off 65 C-10 rebuild that im doing for him. I just painted his cab last week 2000 S-10 indigo blue base clear . and I did the whole interior with semi gloss black rustoleum . now I have to do the doors for it next. |

So here it is, my friend that is an industrial painter ordered it for me as this paint isn't available to the public. It's cloverdales industrial speed enamel that was custom mixed to match the original glenwood green that still remained on the covered part of the gas filler. He has painted many trucks with this and had amazing results, really tough stuff. |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
And today I finished up my power steering plate, copied the captains design on this except for moving the top rear hole further down, without it moved down it was lining up above the frame rail.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
And then I drilled a different hole in the steering box to accommodate the slimmer 60-62 framerail.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Hey Nik. I like the paint color. You really are making great progress and you fabricate most of it yourself. I'm impressed

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Hey Nik, beauty colour! That is really going to make the truck come together. Man I have been woundering what the heck I'm going to do for paint, not to impressed about the paint off the shelve here in Canada. What did a can of that colour mixed run you? Maybe you could ask your bubby if he would be able to get it in that Neptune green?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Nice progress on the truck! This is the paint I had before I did my makeover. I loved the look and got a bunch of complements on the paint. They even have your color just in satin. I think it's $1999 a kit. I sprayed it in my garage. Just giving you another option.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Oh I know, I'll be driving it everywhere and it's going to get scratched, so the beauty is that it will be single stage so I could easily repaint a single panel for next to nothing and have it looking like brand new again!
