Delmo, post up a shot of your bed. I spoke to Nate today and he said it looked great. I am raising my original bed on mine.

Dood, it is way cool. That was the first thing I noticed on the truck. It really kept the original image of the truck intact--very nice.

Delmo · 11-22-2010, 11:55 PM

Thanks allot fellas.

I took 3 inches out of the wheel tubs.

mosesburb · 11-23-2010, 12:03 AM

I'm glad I got to meet you at Dino's and see your truck (well, the top of it at least--there is no crawling under these trucks to check out the running gear--that's what the threads on here are for). Very nice job on the rest of it BTW!!

I really like what you did with the wheels/hub caps. Super clean--super clean!!

BigPhil66 · 11-23-2010, 02:46 AM

Wow...I would love my ride to sit like this...very nice.

jimmydean · 11-23-2010, 12:28 AM

Wow, that's hawt. I haven't seen any like that, so I decided I was going to do mine. Then talking to Nate it convinced me.

I found a wood restoration epoxy that soaks into the wood and makes it 10x harder than the original wood. I hope to get my started soon.

Damn your truck is sexy.

Delmo · 11-23-2010, 12:46 AM

Thanks allot brother, I'll be lookin for pics of yours.

Have you used it yet? If so, was it easy to apply, and how well did it work?

Sorry for the hijack Delmo!

I am not much into the slamming the trucks to the ground, but this one is nicely done!

Delmo · 11-24-2010, 02:33 PM

No problem, I'm curious as well.

Thanks so much everyone, all your rides inspired me.

I have used a product (not on my trucks, but other projects) called CPES, short for Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer. One place to buy it is Jamestown Distributors. They sell boat stuff. This product is used extensively in the classic wood boat restoration hobby. It soaks in and hardens up, effectively sealing and solidifying otherwise soft wood. It won't make good wood from pulp, but it will help if your wood is a little iffy. Be warned: Its not cheap!

That's what I ordered from Rot Doctor in Washington. It was less than $60 for 2QT and they said it should be enough to do my LWB. I'll update my build thread with pictures and results.

<edit> Here is the info that got me thinking this was the right stuff to use.

nice build

Scottshotrods · 11-23-2010, 01:17 AM

Your wheel tubs were done very well to still have the same look as the stockers
look cool.

BigPhil66 · 11-24-2010, 02:24 AM

That is so sweet...Delmo is not too far from me, hmmm......

70 shorty · 11-24-2010, 09:39 AM

Just read this whole thread from start to finish and loved it. Amazing work you did. I could never sell it that fast after finishing it, but I know for some it's about the fun of the build. Hell, I've had my daily driver for 11 years, and my newest project car, my Vette, I've had for 5 years.

oem4me · 11-24-2010, 11:03 AM

Yep, that's a cool truck. I am a factory stock guy for the most part... But I have to admit, that's a cool truck. It's all about restraint. Tasteful restraint (and being slammed to the floor). Nice work, Delmo.

DRTYRAT30 · 11-29-2010, 03:49 PM

Hey that's close to me, I might have to go check that out.

That sucks, but at least it went to a good home. What'd you sell it for? She was a sweet truck.

Hey guys, here is the rest of that video we were playin with. Kinda just threw it together after the truck was gone but it still turned out pretty good. Let me know what ya think.

daverod · 01-03-2011, 10:32 PM

Love it.

Love the truck and the music.

Had to listen to it a couple times. Where did you get the bird on the mirror?
