Nope didn't work. Eagre to see them though.

All I have to say is "WOW"

Hi, Tnx for fixing my link to my photo.I will try to post up again Mark

Nice! Looks slick.

That is beautiful.

Looks good!! I have a question about the white section. Was this a stock paint style. I have seen the wide stripe like yours on big windows with custom cab trim and then some with just to roof. I have also seen a combo of the two leaving the upper stripe of color and ones like mine that painted the whole upper section. Is there a stock white painted area that is not just inside the custom cab trim?

Nice. Same color as my 57 but just a little shinier.

I really like that blue. What paint and color? thanks

Thanks for the replies,the main body colour is paint code RAL5005 signal blue.The cream on the rear cab,bumpers,headlights trims and grill is RAL1013.Its been a year since I started but been good fun.I saw the cab contrast painted like this on a GMC and also a Cameo,and it also breaks up the blue

Very nice!!

Looks FANTASTIC!

Don't let ur blue truck gat ta close to dat blue post...lol, great paint

Tnx for all the repiles,I got the tank back in today and cleaned up the seat runners for a coat of paint,bench has beeen re-upholstered in black tuck and roll,I will try to link some more pics,Mark

You know, that is a beautiful work of art right there! It is so strange seeing these trucks freshly painted though. In my minds eye they are always supposed to be faded and scratched. Just used to seeing them that way, but they sure are pretty in fresh paint.

Wow, great paint job, she sure looks good, nice work!!!!

MORE pictures please...of the whole truck.

Some more progress this week,my 283 come back from machining and a good friend did the assembly to a long block so I painted the motor black this morning and started to get all my engine parts ready for assembly.Block is rebored 40 over and crank has 10 thou regrind,mild cam and hi volume oil pump,all valve train is stock but new.I hope to assemble rest of motor this week.Fuel tank is back in and re upholstered bench is in.got steering box and column back in so I can lift motor back in.Going to try and post some pics up. Frame after paint and 3" lowering springs fitted

Nice paint job done on your rider. Specially, the white strip makes it more appealing.

Good progress today on my truck,got the rams horn exhaust manifolds painted up and fitted,oil pan on,water pump and made fuel line up.An old boy who does classic cars came and refitted front and rear screens.Got truck pushed out shop and had a tidy up,good day all round.
Glass in and more motor work done

Mark you're making really good progress,in fact your putting some of us to shame!
I would loved to have helped with your glass install (it's what I do for a living)
It would have made a nice change from working on 'Euroboxes'......

A wee trip down to Liverpool would have been good!
It's been years since I was last there!

Clutch and engine mounts arrived so got motor and trans together and dropped into frame then started getting front sheet metal on,motor has been prelubed and guage cluster rebuilt oil pressure read good on original guage.Good progress and enjoying working on the truck apart from my new valve covers are too tall and foul firewall.
motor and trans in

Progress is good on my truck,got more done over the weekend,hope to be up and running in a few weeks.
front end progress

Truck looks great, keep up the good work.

Got more done on my truck,its coming together as more small jobs make it more complete and look like a truck again. more progress

Ooooo, yes it is coming along. Very nicely I might add. I like the color! You'll be riding before to long. Keep us posted.

Looks great Mark, just don't drive past Anfield with that colour of paint!

Very nice!

Impressive progress Mark - You are setting a high standard - great looking truck!
