Finally got around to finishing the installation of my A/C and finished varnishing the teak wood and built the bed. Now I need to find 2-3 guys to help me put the bed back on the truck.... Beer anyone???

teeitup · 01-11-2006, 01:02 AM

Nice, I'll make a toast with you right now as I drink my beer!!!!

northcountry67 · 01-11-2006, 01:02 AM

Great job on the bed, but where are your inner fenders? Just kidding, looks great. The free beer sounds great, but I'm in cold MN. If you want to wait until spring, I might ride the old Harley out to help.

*bskylerj* · 01-11-2006, 01:25 AM

Looks good. Is your hood hinges and springs powder coated or chrome?

72MARIO · 01-11-2006, 01:36 AM

Looking Goooood Buddie..... Glad to see that project getting finished up I have been following the web site for years back around 1999 ?.

I am ready to sell mine and build a 2WD blazer. They sure are fun to build Eh ?

Nice job with the teak. That really looks nice!!!!!!

Joe67 · 01-11-2006, 09:23 AM

Very Nice

I love that bed - I would hang that in my house

67ChevyRedneck · 01-11-2006, 09:31 AM

That is VERY nice. It's also very close to the color I'll be painting my truck. Wish I was closer, I'd help ya just to see that baby in person

Seeing that bed makes me wish I had a wood floor in mine

Putter · 01-11-2006, 10:17 AM

Hey, nothing is stopping you Yank. Just put the wood be OVER the steel one!!!
Or, knowing the condition of your steel bed, you wouldn't have any problems trading someone!!!

yank · 01-11-2006, 10:25 AM

true, but then I think of the up keep of a wood bed

think i'll stick with the steel

**dennislbrooks** · 01-11-2006, 12:11 PM

good looking truck -- is that medium blue iridescent?

**Yukon Jack** · 01-11-2006, 12:18 PM

Beautiful bed!!!

**John Fabris** · 01-11-2006, 05:25 PM

Thanks Guys...
bskylerj, hinges are chromed (mistake on my part, I thought my hinges were ok, but they are worn, next time I need to buy new hinges and have those chromed if I do it again)

dennislbrooks, paint code is GM-68 (I tried to match the int Bright Blue for 67, but this color turned out just a tint greener.

northcountry67, if you look on the wall past the hood, the inner fenders are hanging up. Will put those in after the paint is buffed out and the ghost flames are painted on. (then I can bolt the fender emblems on, then inner fenders go on)

Ya Mario, I started tearing this truck down in Jan of 99, so I am now at 7 years.... Fun rebuilding these??? I don't know about that. We will see how I feel once I am driving this one. (kinda why I got rid of my 71 2wd blazer, did not want to commit the next 7 years to building that one)....

**dennislbrooks** · 01-11-2006, 07:10 PM

your color and truck look mighty nice -- mine is the medium blue iridescent

OJOE · 01-11-2006, 10:11 PM

come on over to alabama and a few of us corn fed boys would be glad to lift that bed fer u

70short/step · 01-11-2006, 10:22 PM
