I had the same problem with my wifes 68 F250. I used U-Pol catalyzed primer as shown at the link below:

It can be rolled on, so there's no overspray to deal with and goes on very thick so there's a lot of film thickness to block out. It's been sitting outside unprotected for about 3 years now and looks like the day I put it on.

so with that primer you just roll it on and sand it off and all the pit holes will be filled?

Yes, in fact I used the same stuff on the top of my rear fenders. After 10 years on a gravel road the tops were littered with star chips. Rather than completely stripping to bare metal, I thoroughly feather edged all the chips, which left the surface clean but wavy. I rolled on the primer, let it cure, blocked it out and shot on the finish paint. Even when wet the fenders shine perfectly smooth. This stuff goes on thick and doesn't shrink, so it doesn't cause any problems later on. If you've got deep pits it's always imperative to get all the rust and crud out. If I had rusty pits I would scrub them with metal prep first to neutralize any rust before priming.

Maybe someone can help me with this latest issue;

While working on my 66, I seem to get really sore and tire much quicker than when I worked on my 65 back in 84.
Did something change on these trucks from 65 to 66? :confused:

Found me a beautiful straight clean box for $100 :eek:
The catch is I had to unbolt it from the f:(rd
He just wanted it gone. I was fine with that. :D

Now I won't have to try and restore my old beat-up box.

What kind of tank are you planning to use? Just wondering because I'm at about that stage on my 66. The plan right now is to use a 64-66 mustank tank. I've seen a couple used in our trucks and they are almost a drop in and very little hangs below the frame. They are only 16 gal., though, and also the sender needs to be modified to 0-90 ohms.

Thanks Guys! Having the cab back on the frame makes me feel like the end is in sight. For the interior colors, I gave the following codes to my paint shop, and they were able to match them. I'm out of town for the week, but I'll post the actual codes they used when I get home. The exterior color is the factory Saddle Poly code 22683. I think the colors look great, I couldn't be happier.

Medium Fawn: 60% gloss
DuPont: #9171-L
Ditzler: #DL-22571
Rinshed-Mason: #65B84

Dark Fawn: 0% Gloss
DuPont: #9202-L
Ditzler: #DIA 22568
