Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Man, that Cab is some hep Neo Impressionist art. Like pre-Dali Monet. Don't paint it. Show it at the Guggenheim.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Well we sanded the paint of the cab and discovered that the cab must have been a cab that was converted to a motorhome. It looks to have had the center section cut away then replaced by the previous owner.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
That's a lot of work to strip it. It looks like they did a decent job on the cab repair. Keep at it it's looking good!

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Well I almost got the serpentine belt system installed on Beth's Tribute Truck. A/C pump turned out to be the wrong one. 😑

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
It's been a while but, i have made more progress on Beth's Tribute Truck. Cab is bodyworked and in primer, the underside of the cab and bed have lizard skin coating on them for rust protection.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
The Red Truck doesn't look like a T-Bone-EE. More like it was the T-Bone-ER.
