Wow, I just found this build. Love the color combo. Great work!

Dinos63 · 06-30-2012, 12:19 AM

killer work! so nice

**clemdaddy** · 07-01-2012, 04:28 PM

i appreciate it guys.

last day of june is upon us and it hotter than hades. 3 oclock and 102 in the shade... but it is the end of the month and time for an update, other than the paint and body and fun assembly stuff that happened a few posts back, the end of june was mostly about the bed.

huge amount of hammering and shrinking on a bed side just to get roughed in enough for assembly. the other bed side was great but the bad one kicked my butt.

used the old hillbilly jig to square up the bed... thats sawhorses and 2-bies, a few lag bolts, 4 inner fender braces from a 50 model truck and that one almost always have to have... paint stick. (ha) came out square and level... used angle iron and clamps to keep sides straight.

**clemdaddy** · 07-01-2012, 04:41 PM

the next pics show the trued bed with the new and ill-fitting tailgate. the bed front was great, fit perfect, straight. it came packed in a wood crate and was cheap compared to the tailgate which was, well, less than good. but you do what you can with what you get and i've never found a used original tailgate or bed front that didn't take more time to get right than it was worth. better to start with new on these 2 items... in my opinion.

thats it for now... back in late july, sure hope it rains soon and especially out in colorado and new mexico where the wild fires are. those folks need it bad.

Went to Clem's today and hung out for about 4 hours..... Awesome build and I love his shop/house. I definetely see a long friendship forming here, not only for me but for the wives too. Thanks Kim for the flowers and pickles.... yes they made it all the way home without turning over.

likaroc13 · 07-22-2012, 01:13 PM

dang, that seat looks killer! matches the exterior perfectly too

Pablo22 · 07-22-2012, 01:37 PM

Very Nice! Really like the seat.

**clemdaddy** · 07-22-2012, 03:03 PM

a couple of other things got done recently... tinted and shaded windshield and tinted back glass got installed.

**clemdaddy** · 07-22-2012, 03:06 PM

also got the column in...

SFTorange · 07-22-2012, 04:02 PM

Awesome. The perfect match of original ideas with custom touches.

Dinos63 · 07-22-2012, 11:13 PM

your work is so clean and over top!! duude you got skills the truck is way cool

56taskforce · 07-29-2012, 06:44 PM

It surprises me but I kind-of like the stock look. The red in the 327 stickers really sets off the gray.
Verry nice truck BTW

62 Barnfind · 07-29-2012, 06:58 PM

Truck looks great!

CRGRS 66 · 07-29-2012, 10:09 PM

The 327 valve covers get my vote, and I would be inclined to try and stuff the ballot box on that. That air cleaner though.....

, that is absolutely delicious, I love it... I want one! Is that a stock air cleaner cleaned up, or after market?

**clemdaddy** · 07-29-2012, 10:16 PM

just got out of paint... shot the bed. was 98 degrees in the booth and the paint was almost drying right out of the gun. mixed super thin with slow reducer and spent 2 hrs walking around and around that bed and slowly fogged it...
no runs and it flowed out great. a couple of tiny bugs decided to die for the cause. but looked good after cleanup.
will know more tomorrow morning.

so, thanks for the comments on the truck. i appreciate it guys.

anybody other than 56taskforce have an opinion on the motor look?
i agree with you 56 task, i like the stock look too. those are getting to be hard parts to find. a perfect set of 327 covers plus the 4 barrel big snorkle air cleaner...

but... i am a rings and caps kinda guy and fins and louvers are really my style too... so i need help deciding.

If the 327 valve covers and snorkel air cleaner end up orphaned, I would love to give them a good home!

sigshooter · 07-29-2012, 10:25 PM

Stock look, hands down no queastion! do not put the finned stuff back on

they're scarce around here. everybody threw them away to put custom chrome ones on. sorry, these will probably end up on my truck, got some time in them but i salvage alot and will keep a lookout for you... the valve covers are reproduced i think, but probably not that air cleaner.
