what did you use to attach the chains to the bed to lift it, is the wood and cross sill attached?

One of the PO's added some eyelets to the tops of the bed sides. The bed was pulled complete with wood floor. Took a little adjustment on the chains to get it balanced right, but wasn't any issue lifting it with the cherry picker.

Also got most of the rear frame prep and paint done. Need 1 more coat yet.

Yeah....Austin's on there. I don't want half the stuff I have on my phone now. I've looked into the instagram thing, but once the forum and FB and all rest are accounted for....its just too much for me to keep up with.

Color down Sat a.m. if the weather cooperates like its suppose too.

Hey '63 is that a seafoam green?

1963c-10 · 09-24-2014, 09:02 PM

Glenwood green from the factory and was resprayed at some other point just a hair lighter. Will be blue after this weekend. I can dig up the original paint code and chips tomorrow.
