Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Kudos to you Alan for spending some time with your daughter. This is something you both will remember for a long time to come. Make the time whenever you can 'cause before you know it they'll be all grown up and out of the house.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Way to go Alan . I like to have my daughters help me on projects.
Now they are bringing their friends over since our house is a fun place to hang out. Be careful or she will be wanting to be drive your truck to school someday!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
It's nearly impossible to wipe filler in these temps/humidity. We should be getting a break in temp/humidity soon. I want to get my bed done and painted by (this) winter. I need some extra cash to get me a MAr-K T/G. I need to get a dolly made so I can set the bed off. I don't want to hit the cab with a sander or weld splatter. Sorry for the lame post, just keeping the spirit alive.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I know the feeling. I want so bad to shoot some color on mine, but these temps and humidity are murder.
Oh well sit back, have a cold one and crank up the AC for now. ![]() ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
It's been in the low 90's here with low humidity. Next week it's supposed to really get hot. I just cut the hole in the side wall of the shop to install a swamp cooler. It should work great in the dry desert.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I thought about building a bed dolly out of wood, but had this old ladder rack laying around. I might adapt it to hold my bed and put some wheels on it to roll it around. I'll have to reinforce it some.

I don't know how you put up with the heat. It gets 90 here and I'm dying.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I'll cast a vote for the "smoothed" tailgate. Hard to tell for sure but it almost looks like the script gate has the script panel held on by rivets. With as much work as you are doing to shape up and smooth down your truck, I think the script tailgate would just look unfinished. I agree with del66, paint your oun choice of lettering on the smooth tailgate. My .02
