20 footer.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Evans · 07-19-2007, 07:04 PM

The truck looks atleast half decent now from 20 ft. since I got the outside all one color !!! Rustoleums Rusty Metal Primer spray bomb'd .... I figure it'll be that color for couple years till' I collect all the sheetmetal I need and go into that phase of the build up...

57sailplane · 07-19-2007, 07:09 PM

looks good. nice thing about spray bom brown is easy to touch up..

1LoC10 · 07-19-2007, 07:58 PM

looks good.. i think old trucks can get away with staying in primer.. I like it

dave2953 · 07-19-2007, 08:34 PM

I think it looks great! How many cans did it take? You've got me wanting to do mine now.

Evans · 07-19-2007, 08:49 PM

Didn't really keep track but I would say @ 12 cans ....

RedZ71 · 07-19-2007, 08:51 PM

1LoC10 · 07-19-2007, 09:04 PM

you do anything special to the grill for the paint to stick? just sand and prime?

Aarons72s · 07-19-2007, 09:07 PM

Looks great. I like the black grill to.

no sanding involved.... she was weathered enough I didn't have to rough it up... Duplicolor primer and Duplicolor's Ford semi gloss black

JAKES 68GMC · 07-19-2007, 09:30 PM

It must have smelt a lot like raw fish while it was drying.

Looks great, definately gives the truck some attitude.

xshadow · 07-20-2007, 02:10 AM

how about some more pictures? maybe another good front shot and side.

Bishops Trucks · 07-20-2007, 02:14 AM

Looks like a good project. Let's see more pics.

I agree, we're going to need some better pics than that. Looks like you've got bucket seats?

Evans · 07-21-2007, 12:53 PM

Here's a couple more I snapped today... Remember she ain't pretty ... thats gonna take awhile !!! 1st I gotta get it running again !!! I have really good long bed sides (Centless supplied) that I'm gonna cut up to repair my short bed... and the buckets were out of a van (Jim PA supplied) I also have a brand new carpet kit to go in (Dale Fair supplied) after I get the floor patched up...

ChevLoRay · 07-21-2007, 01:54 PM

Don't forget that your primer will absorb moisture, but you already knew that.

but with the color he chose.. you wont be able to see any new rust!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-21-2007, 10:35 PM

I like it it makes it blend in with the rest of our trucks..

68GMC454 · 07-22-2007, 01:17 AM

i love rattle cans...easy to touch up new rusty spots of parking lot damage...i like the seat..look nice and aged,,match the truck really good..

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-22-2007, 02:31 AM

i dont think thats a 20footer, i think it looks pretty good myself and the blackedout grill just adds that much more to it

krue · 07-22-2007, 02:58 AM

Looks pretty good to me.

Evans · 07-22-2007, 07:56 AM

Thanks for all the compliments guys !!! Trust me though .. the crappy camera makes the truck look better than it is ..... yesterday I started to tape off where I'm gonna cut the bed sides out to replace , did a little sheetmetal patching on the floor and started to fill in the trim holes (and extra PO holes) on driverside fender and cab.....

Evans · 07-22-2007, 02:59 PM

Busy day today......taped up the inside of the windows this morning and sprayed the inside of the cab in my favorite color !! put some of my dash back together .... gauge cluster is just sitting in till I get a dashpad and get it in then I can finish it up... made an aluminum plate to cover radio hole and some other PO holes in dash (it will be future home of toggles for fuel pump , fan and other stuff) .. then I tore the driverside door down for painting and sprayed it , the door panel and installed new window crank..... needs new door handle and armrest yet.....pass. side will have to wait for another day... tired now !!
