I have a friend painting the truck. He's done with the bed and rear fenders. After I finish the cab floors and take the glass out he's going to paint the front. He's got the body work done on everything but the cab, doors, and hood.

I'm excited but sad since I won't be able to use her like a truck anymore.

On the plus side I got a 235 for my 53 so I'll be able to use it as a truck. It's got serious Patina.

Thank you to all. The bed wood is old oak that was in the truck when I got it. It had been in the sun and the spar varnish I had put on it had deteriorated. I sanded it down and put fresh spar varnish marine grade on it. The original steel strips I had sandblasted, primed with self etching primer, and rustoleumed them.

Looks GOOD!


Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

looking good... and I'd like to spend about an hour alone with your truck... get to know her a bit better... of course you would be irritated to find half of your engine gone. grin


Another quality post.

Thanks again to all. Bessie is really my 12 year old Bassett Hound. I signed up on the Stovebolt page many moons ago and was leary of using my real name and not smart enough to make up a fake one. So Bessie is a dog. A hard headed gentle slow moving dog.
