Re: post your 67-72 4x4
i did all the trim work (i.e. doors, hood, joints, tight spots) with full strength paint and a foam brush. the first coat i thined out to 70/30 mix (70% paint 30% mineral spirits). the second coat was a little closer to 80/20 or so. i wet sanded after the second coat then did two more coats with no thiner. i want to wet sand it and get at least two more coats down on it but i ran out of time. the paint can says it needs 24 hrs to dry but i would wait about 6 hrs between coats or until the paint was dry to the touch, it actually set up pretty fast. i thought it would be better to put the paint down while the other coats were still slightly tacky to help it bond.......not sure if thats the right idea or not.
i will have to wait until the weather warms up a bit before i can get more paint down on it but what i have on it now should help protect the body from moisture.  i kind of rushed it becuz all i had was a weekend to do it and wanted to get as much done as i could but i was able to get it all done in a weekend. the hardest part is waiting for the paint to dry i used a dense/firm foam roller to apply the paint.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I would love to hear from you guys that have lifted your 4X4's...I would like to lift my '67 CST, but dont want to deal with pedals and other stuff( like u bolts on axle etc)...is getting the leaf springs reshaped the best way?? or do you have some other thoughts...
I can get the rear up w/ the air bag...and found a pair of air shocks that are 14" that will fit the front...so I cold get enough "up" to put on some bigger tires ( say 31.5 10.50's similar) any ideas will be appreciated...t I have posted this before...but here again is the truck...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
go to a local commercial truck spring shop.. we have one locally that can fabricate new springs to your order.. my 67 chassis (and72) appears to have been done this way. the main spring is re arched ..

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Here's my old girl. 1972 Short Fleet 4x4, 4 Speed 350. Drove it home, backed it into the garage, took it apart, and now slowwwwwly working on putting it back together. Does anyone ever ask themselves "What the hell did i get into this for??"
  How it looks today...
