My 50 roadster pickup build - Page 55 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**oldman3** · 04-16-2020, 09:56 PM

Since I went to all the trouble to fix things, when taking my metal strips out the paint had cracked where the carrage bolts were. So instead of sanding and painting I ordered new Stainless Steel strips. I check with LMC today (placed order on Monday), they are now to a minimum staff and said my order should ship Friday, and I should receive no later that nex Thursday. So now it's the waiting game. Will update you later...Jim

Update on bed. I was pleasantly surprized late Saturday when my bed strips were delivered. So on Sunday, I started reassembly on the bed woood and strips. Got 6 boards and strips installed. On Monday Mark helped me with the last two boards and I really love how it looks. After we got it done, I took it down the road a few miles just to make sure everything was tight. So here's a few pics...Jim

**8man** · 04-21-2020, 05:05 PM

Very nice!

I read through your build over the last week. Your truck is great. Love the roadster look. I just finished reading mark’s orangepeel build last week. I may be using your burnt wood idea. I really like how it came out!

Jason, thanks for looking at the build. Burning the wood really brings out the grain. Have been following your build also, nice work...Jim

Nice work! That came together nicely!

The bed looks great! I'll bet it was nice to be able to clean everything up with the wood out of there! Sweet truck!
