Re: Arkansas K10
 

Paint is progress!!! This is getting exciting.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Larry, This truck is just SUPER ! Did you find a paint color for the transfer
case ? I have been using primer ? If so, what did you use ? Mike.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I use primer, then seal it with semi gloss clear.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Thanks !

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Nice truck

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Do we need to go rough up a painter?

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I didn't download the pictures, but I put the cab on a cart today so it could go to paint.

Mean Green slowed progress on the Arkansas K10 but I had to have AC.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Just kiddin ya...but still happy to grab some sunglasses and a toothpick and have a mostly non verbal conversation with the painter if it helps the situation.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I never seem to stumble over to the four by section and knew I must be missing some good builds. And I was right! I agree you could have played it either way Larry - tune it up and drive it, or pull it all the way apart. But if the color was wrong it would have bugged you and once you decided to paint it, you might have ended up pulling apart all you had done to get it on the road anyway. So I think you just circumvented losing that time by just pulling it apart first. Like my logic?

I made some notes and enjoy seeing the work go together. You didn't mention what you had done with the engine, etc. The carburetor looks like it was rebuilt or restored too?

Re: Arkansas K10
 

The engine was reportedly rebuilt just before I bought it. This seller was a straight up kind of guy, but I never take a sales pitch to the bank. I drove it around quite a bit before I took it apart. It drove out so nice I never broke the trans, transfer and engine apart. I had the carb rebuilt for aesthetics. I have had the engine started since I set it back in the frame and it sounded great. If I could get past paint jail I would have it made. All the NOS or restored parts are laying her ready for assembly.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

looks great!

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Larry, I'm not sure how I missed this one. Very nice attention to detail and awesome work on it. It's tough finding one of these up here that would have many metal left let a lone markings so it is nice to see where they actually might be.

By the way, beautiful 55 and Vette! We definitely have similar tastes. Haha

Re: Arkansas K10
 

The other Larry and I have similar tastes as well, I just need my rich uncle to get out of the poor house to help me with my addiction.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

OK, we may be back on track. The painter delivered my cab to me today. He said to get the fenders, doors and hood worked and he would be ready for them.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Looking great Larry!

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Awesome! You're on a roll.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Oh man. Looking great.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

So you’ll have her back up and running in a week or so, right Larry?:lol:

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Very nice! When can you get mine done? :lol:

Re: Arkansas K10
 

The color looks great!

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I reached a milestone.
