Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
Running boards are all ready to get installed and I started mocking up what the back end will look like. I have no idea who's license plate that is or where it came from lol.

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
So I got a TON of work done this past week as I had holidays and was not allowed to go anywhere due to lockdown still.
Rear lights are all installed I modeled it from the original tow truck bed and the lights hooked up. The bed was painted and installed then I terminated all the connections in a trailer box above the trailer hitch.

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
Then I finished painting the cab and fenders and flat clear coated them. Once they where dry I installed the fenders, installed the front lights and painted and bolted the bumper on.

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
Friday I was finally able to go into the hardware store due to lockdown being eased up and I got the semi transparent gray stain for the bed wood. 2 coats looks perfect then installed with 5/16" stainless bolts and the back half of the truck is done. In between the tie downs is 50", the bed should be good for 6-800lb. Then I hooked up the front lights the terminal strip will be behind some rubber, this has worked good on my truck for 5 years.

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
Great work.
I wasn't too sure about the flatbed when you mentioned it a few weeks ago, but it looks so 'professional' that it looks like it could have been a 'Commercial' option for the truck. Well Done, it looks great

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
Well it was another big weekend.
Got the doors back from the blaster Friday and got to work. Got the hood doors and grill primed and painted, turned out good for not being a painter. Then on Sunday bolted the doors and hood on. Monday I got the grill on and started putting the door guts together. It is booked in for a safety and alignment Monday morning. I am loving the look!! ![]()

Re: 1950? S-10 tdi
Wow, looks great.
The gloss grey grill is a nice contrast to the satin black, nice touch. Well Done
