Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan:
Your truck is looking great. Regarding the problem with the right side latch striker, can you tell what is the cause of the difference side to side? Is it the tailgate, the bracket holding the striker, or the bedside that is different? Things are supposed to fit. If there is a product problem, we want to know about it. Thank you for feedback.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Sorry it took so long to answer. I'm pretty sure it's a 3/8. I was going to look to make sure. but never did. I picked the hose up 100 times this week.
![]() ![]() I'm getting tired of sanding and wiping on my bed. Working the inside of one more bedside. Then it's priming time. Then more sanding. Remind me again why we do this..........................?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I use 1/4 for work (nail guns,staple guns). I'm not sure how much a paint gun needs. I think it makes a difference when running air tools like a impact gun. Just bought a 3/8.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I've got a bad illness. I can't leave well enough alone. I just wanted ya'll to know to explain why I'm not getting much done. I'm doing 4Runner surgery. The 86 needs a roof and windshield pillar skins. Here's the donor roof.
![]() ![]() I had to this this weekend so I could have some light. It gets dark by the time i get home during the week. Promise, progress is being made on the 65. Going out tonight to sand more.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
if you want the wood to look a little richer. I would give it a thinned down coat of boiled linseed oil wipe it dry and I mean dry and give it a wipe every couple of hours as there will be some bleeding back from the grain. coat it the next day with polyurethane and follow up with a few more coats. prepare to sand it and recoat every couple of years if left in the weather
straight polyurethane will leave the wood looking lighter in colour . no sealer needed. sanding sealer just has more stearates(easier to sand) in it and makes the finish softer . less crap in the finisher makes it harder. gloss is harder than satin(less inhibitors) ron oxalic acid more than likely would have removed those stains |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I used helmsman (not sure on spelling) for all the clear finishes I have done on our salt water tank stands. So far everything has held up great (oldest is 3years now).
I also read somewhere to put a slight radius on the boards where the notch is cut out for the metal strips. They said it helps keep the clear coat from cracking and peeling on the hard edge. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
The bed wood looks to have come out quite nicely.
![]() I vote for a stain on the wood. While orange will be unique for sure, I think it may just be too much orange. Just my .02, either way I'm sure you'll make it look great. |

I did some mock ups trying to get the filler pocket in the right location. Got some more trimming to do on the pocket.

SCORE I remembered about a year ago when I went to look at a truck that was for sale, he had a GMC hood, that was extra, he had shipped in from Fresno off of Ebay. I think he wanted 400 for it at the time. I saw it again on CL not too long ago. I wanted to call him but I thought the price was still too high. I couldn't find the ad last night, but I remember I took pics of his truck and one of the pics had the far sale sign in the window. I called him this morning and he still had it. He told me he would take 200 on the phone. All said and done I got it for 160. It has some minor dents and some holes that need to be welded up. There is only surface rust. ![]()

Running a clear lense with an orange bulb will be the plan. I smoked out the tail lights of my turbo Miata and it looks awesome and still lite up red.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I got some bulbs off ebay that look chrome. So when the light is off you can't see the bulb at all and there is no orange cast to the lens. But it blinks orange and doesn't cut down on the light.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Back on to the bed. Trying to get the wood trimmed out for the filler neck. I'm almost there. Remembering the old adage "measure twice cut once".
