heres an update on the green c-20 truck of sam & kim.

took the saddle tanks out and scrapped them, also removed the homemade filler tubes and pulled the front fenders to get at the rust. the paint will have to be blended to match the patina everywhere the repairs are done and that will be a new challenge for us. never tried matching old paint but the first thing to do is compound off all the dead paint and get back to the color underneath.

first pic is dead paint and the second shows the tired 6 cylinder coming out. the original plan was a v-8 and overdrive install but things changed to a power glide and overhaul the original 6.

third pic is the bed boards which will be filled a little and blackwashed. also the wheel tubs are out and heading to scrap, i think the cows were very nervous riding when gramps was driving. this pic also shows the big holes where the side tank fillers stuck out, more patchwork and blending on this too.
