The mint paint is just for now. I will probally start more body work as the summer goes on and get this truck looking really straight and ready for some paint. The rest of the pics.

wow, G R E A T deal on that gate....a quick sand/sandblast and you've got a $400 gate easily!!! Just the relocator hardware is close to $100

mcc-bri · 05-11-2011, 12:06 AM

Well its time to kickstart this project again. Last summer I did end up getting the truck on the road but ended up having a break down and I parked it for the winter.

I have now decided that I want to finish this truck fully so let the body work begin!

Here are some pics of the cowl hood I made and the rust repair I did. Also one of the super T 10 that I got over the winter to repolace the saginaw.

Well finaly got to roll the truck into the garage tonight. Once it was in the old hood came off and hit the scrap pile. With a friends help we placed my cowl on for the first time and I got to see how it looks with the truck. I think it looks good for a first atempt at making a cowl. Still got a lot of sanding to do before its ready for primer.

Got some work done last night. The hood is really starting to shape up. I also finished stripping the part of my bedside that I need to pull out and do some metal replacment. I should be getting a uni spotter next week so I can start on that.

That T-10 will be fun in there. A buddy described mine as going from farm truck to fun truck!

mcc-bri · 06-06-2011, 09:18 PM

Well I got a saginaw in it right now and the truck was a blast to drive. Now with this ill be able to drive it harder.

That's what I ended up doing. While the transmission was going in I ended up getting the rear end built with an Eaton posi. Way more fun to drive!

mcc-bri · 06-08-2011, 11:59 PM

Havnt got much done this week. Been trying to clean up the garage a little this week. A friend of mine dropped off a brand new mac uni spotter for me to borrow for awhile.

I'm no expert painter, I have just been learning as I go. I used a cheap princess auto gun when I sprayed the truck. Are you looking to do body work or just scuff and paint?

Nice work leaving that wheel well lip in place since the patch panels don't have that indent. I like your style
