One cartridge kit was enough but I was stressed the whole time thinking I was going to run out. Ended up with about 1/5th left. Hardest part was trying to do the whole thing in one continuous run. You really need to do a dry run first figuring out how you are going to reach everything. Also the two downward slopes at the rear are a little tricky as the stuff flows quite a bit and I ended up with more at the bottom than anywhere else so plan for that. All and all a pretty easy product to work with.

Just a bit. Problem is, the way I had the cab stood up, I could not get it back in the garage, and the chassis and floor needed to be finished before I head for Clem's parrty. The rest of this week has rain forecast, and once I get my new cab mount rubber set and fit it, the cab will be bolted in place. So it all had to be done. Just waiting for Martin now to give me a hand rolling it forward again, safely, and replacing the bed, then pack away and have a long hot bath.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Mocked up my small block and 2004R transmission. I have more room with that trans than with the TH350 (small hump cab) Go figure. Using the POL engine brackets and trans cross member from western chassis.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Cruising the Coast started today, so it's 8 days of classic rides. Started out cloudy and cool but got nice after lunch. Supposed to be mid60s to low 80s and clear all week. here is a sample of the 1400 shots I took today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I changed my white shocks with black ones..
 It seems I had gas shocks in the truck but the left one went down but didn't rebound back. Maybe there won't be a lot of bouncing up and down anymore.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
It's amazing how much work you can squeeze into an hour when you,know your wife will be home soon and you spent the last two days in the garage.....
So tonight I pulled the truck out after work and "quickly" painted the floor, then cooked dinner..... Fried pork chops, butter and herb mushrooms and cous cous. Perfect. First coat down, next coat in a few days, the sound deadening, felt pads and carpet once the paint is done.  Nothing else to do right now except start cleaning up the rear suspension, chassis and various other bits like brakes etc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Ok, so if there was a breathalyser on my keyboard i might be in trouble with the feds but as there is not I can post with impunity!
So why the celebration? 2 reasons.. got my first 'big' deal locked in at my new job but, more importantly, my registration documents arrived today so Woody is now 100% legal! Better slow down now the Man knows who i am.... P.

FINALLY got. My bed together and mounted! A long to short conversion alone with rust repair has probably taken me 30+ hours of work!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I cleaned up the truck today for the show tomorrow. (More like a classic car picnic) and finally installed my hub caps. really made the truck more elegant, I think. Should look real nice after I get the bed done.
