Looks great!!! I guess I must have been napping or under a rock for a while because I just noticed the cab lights...nice touch. Reminds me of the Danbury Mint '72 because of the cab lights and the shortbed.

Lanman1972 · 09-23-2018, 03:58 PM

I wasn't a big fan of the lights when I bought it, but now I think they are awesome when the lights are on at night.

silvertonguedevil · 09-25-2018, 03:56 PM

Love what you're doing here!

Lanman1972 · 09-25-2018, 04:31 PM

Thank you, it has really progressed this summer.

jimbosprint · 09-26-2018, 10:59 PM

Nice to see another stock work truck build. Great job!

Lanman1972 · 10-19-2018, 05:06 PM

Pics of the paint process. I built a stand to hold a door a fender for paint matching.

Lanman1972 · 10-19-2018, 05:09 PM

Beautiful day today and brought them both out for some sun!

**EdwardSams** · 01-02-2019, 11:42 PM

Great thread.

Forgive the question, but who showed you the way with all this? Family or do you do this sort of thing professionally?

I’m so impressed by all the amazing work done by the members of this site. Glad to be able to tag along so I may watch and learn.

Lanman1972 · 01-03-2019, 06:52 AM

Thank you, Although I am a Tool and Die Maker by trade, I learned most of this on my own. I have always had a sort of artistic ability that helps. Besides if I screw something up, it's just money. Right?

Stickman · 01-03-2019, 09:21 AM

The Green is outstanding.

Ha, amen to that.

**Sheepdip** · 01-06-2019, 01:06 AM

My hats off to ya! Lot's of talent and dedication involved. Out here in California we don't have a whole lot of rust to deal with just your typical cab corners, rockers and right front fender below the battery tray. Nice Job...Nice Truck!

Lanman1972 · 01-06-2019, 03:45 PM

Thanks Sheepdip, once I get this project done my wife wants me to build a mustang for her. Probably another rust bucket build.

Lanman1972 · 03-20-2019, 01:39 PM

My son spraying epoxy primer on the underside of the bed. I followed with Raptor Liner. Also used the Raptor Liner on the wheel tubs.

Lanman1972 · 03-20-2019, 03:45 PM

Pics of Raptor Liner

Jess72 · 03-21-2019, 10:04 AM

Thanks for showing your progress, I will start my build next week 72 c10 long bed to short bed. Just so you know your work is inspiring and this type of threats are so helpful to people like me that are on the beginning stages of learning. You might of cover this but what did you with the drive shaft. I'm working on my very limited budget and wondering the options for this. 1 piece or shorten the 2 piece drive shaft?

Lanman1972 · 03-21-2019, 10:45 AM

I used the original driveshaft and had it shortened. All in it was approx $350, all new u joints, carrier bearing and painted. Goodluck!

Lanman1972 · 03-26-2019, 07:31 AM

Wheel tubs are done!

Lanman1972 · 03-26-2019, 07:33 AM

And the Tailgate.

Lanman1972 · 05-14-2019, 07:20 PM

Gettiing closer! Bed floor is painted and test fit the bed sides.

72 tigger · 05-14-2019, 10:17 PM

Very nice! Coming down the home stretch

**rustytruck50** · 05-14-2019, 11:37 PM

Looks great!!!!!!!

Lanman1972 · 09-17-2019, 09:39 AM

Back at it again! Still needs some fine polishing but the hood and cowl are done. Only the bedsides remain to be painted. Hopefully get those done in the next couple weeks.

Good idea, before it starts snowing

Lanman1972 · 09-23-2019, 07:34 AM

Hood came out great! Now on to the bedsides.
