heres the old 65 just before i primed the bed and the cab , tomorow when i get outta class i will prime the bed and cab ONE LAST TIME and lightly sand her down once more and then shootin sealer on it and then its paintin time,
hopefully my first project as a young gun turns out to be pretty good, judging by the gude coat everything sanded down evenly, torch red here i come!!!!!

o and i filled that back seam from the bed to the tail light section shown in the last pic took a while but sure payed off i think it give a kinda custom look

Looks like you're doing a fine job!
Can't wait to see it finished.

[Alan's Classic]

Can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep us posted. Looks like you have a helper.

[LILRED66]

Nice progress. I took an autobody class in college and did my '66 C10. This is what it looked like in zinc chromate aviation primer. These pictures are from 1986.

Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see it in "Victory Red".

got the final coat of primer on the old dirty girl today , after class today i finished sandin the bed and were gonna take it to the shop and get it painted on saturday along with the coxl, fenders and tailgate and while the beds off were gonne put the rear fuel tank in and then prime the cab and hopefully the weekend after this one we will paint the cab

what do you guys think of our ghetto seat belt tailgate latch haha not to shabby for a couple of red necks

[gulfcoast66]

Sweet coming along nice. I like the tail gate i heard of it but never seen it done, bet it last forever! cool 65

[olsofti]

Those latches are too cool!

the EPA is having a field day right now with that photo of you in the drive way and the paint gun!! I bet they are on google maps tracking your A#$ down. Let the try, long live the garage and drive way built vehicles! It is as American as hot dogs and apple pie.

I love the tailgate latch idea. I have been trying to find a way to get the chains off of the tailgate and that is a sweet and cheap idea. Rock on brother.

[Hillbilly Deluxe 65]

yea jmedero i went to the local junkyard and they were 30 bucks for the pair pretty easy to do im thinkin it will be totally worth it in the long run

[Hillbilly Deluxe 65]

got the bed, cowl, corner pieces, and fenders painted today looks great
the hood, tailgate cab and doors are ready to go next weekend

[TimE]

Looks great! You're going to have to change your sig soon. For some reason I don't think OL BLUE is gonna work anymore!!

[Alan's Classic]

That's really slick, great job

[dieselarmy13]

Lookin nice. Can't wait to see that latch system finished.

[Hillbilly Deluxe 65]

[mnky30]

that looks great nice work, love the red

[Corts60]

that is gorgeous!!

[slepysal]

very nice job

[Dustin07]

That seat belt latch idea is very cool. i don't think that's redneck at all, clean up those welds and it will be too nice to even call ratrod. do you have it on both sides or is one side enough to hold it up?

[64Magoo]

All that I have seen here in town have them on both sides.

[Hillbilly Deluxe 65]

yea i have it on both sides i gridied the welds down and bondo'd them and sended it all smooth so you really cant tell how they are even on tehre with bedliner on it

[Hillbilly Deluxe 65]

well boys its been a long ride but seein the red slung on the cab today really made all my blood sweat and cussin worth it, never thought 43 year old sheet metal could look this good hah

well here she is i got some pin stripping that im gonna do on the glove box and in the cab i believe

[Palf70Step]

Nice job, and that is definitely RED!

[YOLO]

sweeeeeet! very nice color. it is a real eye catcher. I like the tailgate latch too.

[scotts62]
