Beautiful color!. Looking fine!

msgross · 07-16-2009, 09:04 PM

Nice!

Rack Man · 07-18-2009, 10:46 PM

Here's a few more pics....More to come...scored the NOS grill off a local member

....Also started to install the wood bed today....Got the 4 short boards in and all but the one short cross sill...I'm using the MAR-K kit with the hidden fasteners, so I can't go any further until the bed is back on the chassis...which is gonna happen on Wednesday along with the cab....The she's coming back to the homestead!

**Palf70Step** · 07-19-2009, 07:30 AM

That is purty! She is going to look so good back together.

Chevy1TonFun · 07-19-2009, 10:51 AM

Wow that came out nice. Can't wait to see her all put back together.

70chevytruck · 07-20-2009, 08:00 AM

Great build....where is all the crap in your garage? You know...i can't even make it to the trash can..

Love the truck...

josu_ito · 07-21-2009, 11:06 AM

Nice work man....

sdailey · 07-21-2009, 06:46 PM

Looking good Dan. Keep up the good work. I'm glad to see you back on track.

Igotachevyor2 · 07-21-2009, 09:54 PM

nice progress looks great

Conroe trucker · 07-22-2009, 08:58 PM

Scratching sound was I assume the new throw-out bearing full of cold hard fresh grease trying to tun.

Rack Man · 07-25-2009, 12:40 AM

Well....I mounted the cab & bed yesterday at the painters shop and brought her home today.....Looks like the tires are gonna be a little too small...aargh!...Gonna probably bump up to some 33x10.5x15 All Terrains.....hopefully my stock wheels will be able handle them as I'm pretty close to the tie rod already with the 9.5" wides.

Spent today getting the bed & cab aligned, shimmed and squared and started installing the bed wood.....The hidden fastener kit from Mar-K is SWEET....Check out the tailgate, the painter did just an awesome job on the white letters!

Billhilly · 07-25-2009, 04:01 AM

Man that looks sharp! I am sooo jealous, I'm going to do blue/white as well, just a bit darker blue. Trouble is I'm still at the chassis stage. Great work.

Bill.

Chevyman63 · 07-25-2009, 06:47 AM

Wow...that looks great!

gcburdic · 07-25-2009, 08:54 AM

Fan-tabulous job Rack Man...love the 2-tone 4x4!!!

Rack Man · 07-26-2009, 04:30 PM

Wood Bed Conversion is now Complete!!!

Chevyman63 · 07-26-2009, 04:50 PM

Wow...that looks great!

dieselarmy13 · 07-26-2009, 11:45 PM

Beautiful

Rack Man · 08-03-2009, 11:57 PM

Making a little headway….....also learned that Muratic Acid is simply awesome for cleaning parts & hardware

...Oh yea, I did get a new set of tires for it (no pic yet)...I just bumped it up a size to 31x10.5x15....I also opted for the All Terrains instead of the Muds....It looks a ton better!....

Waiting on a couple small tailgate parts….but she’s about ready to get installed

Cleaned, painted, lubed and installed the parking brake assembly

Cleaned, painted & installed drivers side air vent….I don’t think I need the passenger side as I will be installing a Vintage Air system

Also scored some NOS taillight & headlight bezels

msgross · 08-04-2009, 06:52 AM

looks sharp, I'd like to see your paint bill for that!

are those hidden bed strips aluminum or SS?

estig70 · 08-04-2009, 07:12 AM

Absolutely, NICE!!!

Good job.

gcburdic · 08-04-2009, 07:27 AM

That wood bed looks great with that color!!!

LooseCannon · 08-04-2009, 08:33 AM

Very sharp!

Rack Man · 08-04-2009, 08:38 PM

Thanks all....just taking my time one part at a time...I'm still learning so it's probably taking me twice as long to do everything...LOL

Actually the paint bill itself wasn't too bad.....$4,625.00....and I still need to pay them later to wet sand & buff ($400)....Now, the bodywork total was almost $6,500.00 and that included media blasting....so, yea I'm into the paint & body for over $11K.....damn, I hate adding stuff up!....Like virtually all projects this one has gotten way out of control.....But I'm in this deep so I'm gonna get her done!

The bed strips are the aluminum type....I really liked the "T" bolt style fastener that it has....For aluminum they are very stout as I guess they are a quality extrusion!...I can't say enough about the Mar-k product....thier stuff looks awesome and fits perfect!

Conroe trucker · 08-05-2009, 08:05 PM

That is one pretty truck.
