Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Yes it's a short bed. I have to measure the junk yard bed. Rhino lining is like a rubber coating, not as tough as Line-X. But that was my thought, or a bed mat. Again CHEAP.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

I have thought about just using diamond plate with line-X over it. If you had access to cheap diamond plate. Shiny aluminum diamond plate would look neat , but probably not cheap!

Yes sir, nice build. I'm gonna do the same thing with my sons truck, it's a stepper though. I've seen a few different year trucks done, and I like it.

Diamond plate's a thought. If a marine plywood was laid down, a thinner diamond plate would be a lot more affordable. I did a M/C trailer that way. And another one I made with outdoor carpet.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

i always surprised they don't use marine ply for the bed floor you Can make grooves in it with a router and lay polished aluminum strips in it with lock bolts trough it to mount it to the frame and then lacquered to a shine one sheet of ply should be pretty close to the size of the bed floor and most likely sheaper that a floorkit

that outdoor carpet looks nice too it might be a bice option if you have a top on the bed

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

forgot it was a stepper too.. my bad... No fender openings to mess with.. On a 60-66 short Fleet, the start of the fender openings are a little different from the newer models.
marine plywood would be really easy.

Grille is better without the Bowtie

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

I painted the 57 Chevys frame that I'm working on today. I used Gloss Black KBS Coatings. I sprayed it on, and came out 100% better than POR-15.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Looks like powder coated. It is supposed to be very durable, and is good to stop rust. Like POR-15. I've used POR-15 a few times, and this is much better in my opinion. It sprayed on real nice. and didn't want to run, plus it flowed out just like POR-15

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

I'll have to try that. I wasn't to impressed with pr stuff. Plus I like to spray stuff. Did you have to thin it? What size tip? Hope they have it here. Looks nice.

I didn't have to thin it, and don't know what size tip I sprayed it with. What ever came in the gun.

Says it's just a top coat. You need to first paint it with rust seal. POR you can just paint over bare metel ( spray it with metal prep). It works out to cost twice as much. If you seal it with rust seal.

I just sprayed it on bare metal. You can us this if you want more rust protection. It also comes in colors. I'm going to try this next, and it's cheaper.

Read all the posts...yeah, I'm a glutton...took a couple of days to read. Very nice build, love the door handles, still up in the air about the bed, but will wait to see it painted. What matters most is if YOU like it!
