Somebody said someone was buildin a truck around here. Just peaking in to see if it was true. It looks great!

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Thanks man! I'm about 45 minutes from the West End (my dad's shop is anyway).

Another pic of getting the cab ready for Saturday.

That looks like Hawaiian Blue the same color as my 71, are you going to too tone it with White, it really looks good.

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Keep the pics coming. Great Job.

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Hector, thanks for the pics they are helpful getting some ideas. On the doors I had thought that the window post the entire thing should be white?? We painted the cab and the bed yesterday!! Got a couple runs thankfully only in the white. We only had 18" paper so had to cut all of it masking the white on the bed... that sucked. I had no idea how much time it would envolve doing the tape but it turned out great. Of course the cam battery died so I have to get some pics later. ;)

Yes I am going two tone 510 medium blue and White... We sprayed the cab yesterday :uhmk::metal: Your truck looks great! Nice interior! Wish my stuff had been in a little better shape. All the woodgrain is rough...:waah:

Thanks! More pics when I get back to the shop.

Thanks Keith I really like the color a lot man. I knew I wanted a blue and going with the 510 & white is perfect for what i'm looking for.

Still trying to find a tilt column to go in it??? Anybody got one?

Wow Chris! this is a super fast project. I have to ask, is it your full time job?....Kidding, you must have put some long hours in on your off time. I'm amazed how fast you went from rust repair to paint. I have spent a solid 2 months on my cab. Just shows how slow I am. You paint looks great, more pictures.

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Truck is looking good.

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!

Great job on the paint moving right along ..........

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Outstanding job!

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Thanks for the comments everyone! Working on the fenders, doors and the tailgate yesterday and today... Should have some pics if everything comes out okay today.:metal:

I need to find a steering column (tilt) HELP!

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

Well everything is coming along great on the paint!!! Hurray! Here are a few pics. The clear buffed up great. We cut it with 1500 dry on the da did some light hand work in the tough to reach areas and curves. Followed that with 2000 wet dry in some areas and all of it was run over with trizact 3000. The trizact brings the shine up big time. Buffed with Finese II 1,2, and 3 the ultra fine polish.

Does anyone have some pics of where the cab dust shield mounts? I've got four smaller pieces that I cannot figure out??? When I pulled the cab the original stuff was broken and had pieces missing so not really sure on the install... In the pic thats what I have now. But I still have the four pieces left over???

Re: 72 Not sure what to call it yet resto!
 

That paint looks amazing!
