ok, here we go.

The truck came home sometime in mid may. not totally uneventful, my radiator got trashed but thats a long, crappy story.

the first thing was sanding the interior, with help from mom. (thanks mom!)

next we cleaned the frame, to prep it for some nice chassis black.

the rust encapsulator came next but i don't have any pics, and now the beds on,. but it will come back off to actually apply the chassis black.

so next was prepping and undercoating the bed.

that came out to my liking, but not perfect, but whose going to see it anyway.

now were in early july, almost time for the second sentence in body shop prison, this time for the bed, so it had to go back on the frame!

so it made it back to prison without harm and more bodywork began, then abruptly stopped.

no more stake pockets!

all smooth

now the word is collision jobs are WAY more important..... sooooo, it will have to wait, and i most likely will miss my wishful completion date.... ohh well.

Cameron 1137 · 07-26-2012, 06:24 PM

Here are some parts updates also...

BIG box from LMC

mostly interior parts and inner fenders

and my most favorite parts so far

i also purchased a porter built stage one front and stage 2 rear basic kit which are on their way, i just need a switch box and a crap ton of fittings.

i painted my heater box too, (kind of random but it is progress i guess.)

Cam, you have been busy and everything looks great. Sorry about the body shop stuff, it happens to a lot of people with classic rides. Way to go with the Porter built stuff, should make you happy when done. Keep it touch....Jim

Tinkermc · 07-26-2012, 09:23 PM

Very cool project, late joining in but I'm gonna follow along from here.
You did a great job on the rust repair. I know how time consuming that can be. Keep up the hard work!
