Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Wow, you took it and made a heck of a nice rig out of it. That's why I like before/after pics, makes you appreciate the completed truck a lot more when you remember where it started.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Bear;
We painted the truck in a portable garage in the driveway..Not a concours,but works for what we use it for.. Here is the floor..I had some walnut boards laying around for 25 years..Decided this would be a great place to use it up. The bed strips are original. The truck had a galvanized steel overtop the original wood.. It likely saved the strips ,but the wood was rotten. We use a mat overtop the wood to haul crap around.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Beautiful floor, that walnut is gorgeous. What did you use for a stain and what did you use to seal it?

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
Very cool truck - everything about it. Really dig the camper, lettering and particularly the racing discs. Once common, they're hardly ever seen anymore. Looks like it drove right out of 1965.

Re: How about some pics of 60-66 Trucks
I am proud of you for saving them and let them rest at your place..
Any luck getting them to reproduce themselves in the breeding program? I assume you get to keep pick of the litter!! Ha ha

he was not pleased with its architecture
