Re: Greg65 build thread
That puppy is 11 months old and weighs about 65 pounds. Need to post some updated pictures of her. Oh by the way if you don't have enough snow you can have what's left down here.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Today I drove to Montgomery al. to meet Rob(Hart Rod). Super nice guy. WE talked a little trucks and alot of Oklahoma football. It don't get any better than that. I picked up the oe tailgate he had listed in the parts for sale section. Last week my rear wheel tubs come in from Christian's Classics. Very good service and great guy to work with. After buying a few more body pieces it's time to save up enough money for the body work.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Thanks Alan. I still have not decided on a interior color yet. Not sure to paint it the same as the exterior, a nice gray, or the original fawn.
Any progress on Shannon's cab?

Re: Greg65 build thread
I got a little done to the truck last week. After sanding for a few nights I figured out that blasting would be alot faster and easier. Looking back I should have taker pictures of before I started and after the five coats of paint was removed. Maybe I can do that on the other side. All in all the left bed side is in prett good shape. Today we removed the bed and put it on the dolly to maker it easier to work on. Next up buying the new front sheetmetal.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Thanks guys. Last night I started sanding the passenger bedside. The front part has quite a bit of body filler in it. Not what I wanted to see. I will try to post pictures tonight.

Re: Greg65 build thread
The passenger side is finally sanded down to the metal. After sweeping the floor I think there was a gallon of bondo in that one side. To bad they don't make reproduction bedsides. I'm thinking someone with alot better metal working skills than I will be fixing this one.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Here are a few more after primer. Also a picture of the next project in a few years. The po owner changed it from leaf to coil springs. Last week I installed the crossmember for the shock brackets.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Hey Greg. What kind of primer are you using? The truck is still changing everyday.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Thanks Jeff. Right now i'm trying to get the five layers of paint off so i'm using rattle can etching primer. All I want to do is cover the bare metal so it won't rust. Today I worked on the cowl panel ang got it in primer. I'm not happy the way it turned out so i'll have it blasted and put some real primer on it. See what you think.

Re: Greg65 build thread
By the pics it looks pretty good. Is that Dupli-Color etching primer? If it is I was wanting that color in a gallon form to do my whole truck before I flat blacked it. Cause I done my hood with the rattle can, you know mine stays outside well it dont last outside. But I was wanting that green color, and I didn't want to spend 300.00 a gallon. So I went with John Deere Blitz Black for 50.00 a gallon.

Re: Greg65 build thread
After deciding that my truck does not have the right stance we swaped out the front springs today. The truck has an ECE 4-6 suspension kit already installed. The new springs are half an inch shorter so maybe with the front sheetmetal installed it will sit where I want it to. It was really a fun day working on my old truck with my son. I made sure he was well away from me during the disassemby process. His main job was taking the wheels and being the jack man while I held the springs in place. Nothing like spending time with your kids.
