Re: It's just a work truck!

I don't know how thrilled I am with it yet?. It's two feet longer than my dad's & bro's, obviously. It flexes 2 or 3 inches when you pull it down. I'm worried of my paint cracking. I called GAYLORDS and they say they have no problems with any paint cracking. I'm going to talk to the paint store about flex agent additive for the paint.

Re: It's just a work truck!

Back to some older pics. Heres a few of the cab with the guide coat sprayed on before final sanding. I just used Walmart brand rattle can flat black .88 cents a can, It's going to end up on the floor anyway... What a p.i.t.a!. And we still have my tailgate & bed lid to paint yet. Oh, then on to my bro's 63' final paint job. The FUN never stop's....

Re: It's just a work truck!

A few pics of some of the first paint to be spilled on this thing. We are not painters for sure, but we can wing it!.. ( IT'S JUST A WORK TRUCK! )...Tried to rig up a make-shift paint booth in my garage, worked o.k., but what a mess!. Still get some debris in the paint.

Re: It's just a work truck!

We used the same roll on bedliner from Walmart to brush on the inside of the cab. After we bolted the doors back on, we leveled the bed on jackstands. we bolted the front inner and outer fenders on, so we could line up the body to paint the white stripe down the side.

Re: It's just a work truck!

What a cool truck!! Looking awesome. I like everything about it. The sidetrim looks wicked! We thought about doing that to the '65 while it was at the paintshop... but the local airbrush artist never showed up for the estimate... So it didn't happen...

Re: It's just a work truck!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It's getting real close!.. I might even try to take it to the local saturday night car show this sat. I have to get some drive time on it before going across the desert to the Brothers show next month. Glad to give you that BIG window Dino, I think big back windows are a must on longbeds. and now I own stock in a cool dually

Re: It's just a work truck!

It looks like your paint turned out well but an FYI to other people painting in a garage, it really helps with the dust if you wet your floor down. It captures the dust from the paint instead of kicking it up onto the vehicle. You do have to be really careful so you don't get the water on the vehicle when the hose drags across the floor. I've painted lots of cars in my dads garage and they usually come out pretty good. Even in a paint booth you will still get some dust in the paint. That's what buffing is for right, haha

Re: It's just a work truck!

I painted the white stripe on before the striper came and did the painted chrome. Friday I took the truck to get an alignment, that didn't go well. the place I hade a apointment with couldn't do it they said it was too low. I called a place on the other side of town that said could take me. so with a round trip of about 40 miles and a CRACK IN MY BRAND NEW WINSHIELD!!! the front end is aligned. Two steps forward, one step back!...

Re: It's just a work truck!

I saw this truck at the 67th and Bell show last night. This is one of the nicest "WORK TRUCKS" I have ever seen. For any members going to the Brother's Show and Shine you need to stop by and check out this truck. Keep in mind that this whole build was done in his garage. Nice work guys!
