I am green with envy!!! (this was the only green guy I could find

) Hopefully mine will be on the road the first of June and we will have 2 4x4's on the road Wyatt...... Your truck is looking good. Did you get the top of the cab patched?? or did I miss that pic?? Keep the progress rolling and keep us inspired....

can't wait to see it, and basically copy all parts of it down to use on my 65.

Anthony, I didn't get to the roof patch yet. I might get to it this weekend or up coming week. We got a radio hooked up tonight and got the tail lights back in. I will be doing the small stuff this weekend. I want to paint the wheels, prime the gate and try to buff out the dull paint on the hood. I'll get more pics up as I progress.
Yup, We gotta get these 4x4s on the road.
Hey Allan, I'm far from winning

You have really been moving along quickly. You grill looks great, did you polish it?

Good work! I really like your truck. I think I see a 4x4 in my future! I'll bet you're glad to be doing more driving that working for a while!

The only thing I did to the grill was clean it with a little chrome polish and black out around the head light doors. It turned out pretty nice. Can't wait to get the whole truck shining like that. BUT, That will be awhile.

Oh yeh, To get behind that wheel and take it down the road and watch people turn their heads. Now that will be satisfaction. She ain't no beauty queen but she will be fun to drive. She's Slick.

Wow..
That grill cleaned up good!!
The Slick does look Tough!
Full of Envy in Missouri.....

Are you going two tone or solid?
Either way..That red is going to look great!!

Going all original w/ the color. Rangoon red. Will be a while until I paint the whole truck. Will paint the pieces as I finish them. It may be the hard way but it's kinda like Johnny Cash would have done it. One piece at a time

A few more bites of the elephant:
Primed tailgate.

Now guess where this might be leading to

Please note, 3/4" for a 3/4 ton.

How's this for an idea?

Would this make a good picture for Mcguires?

Gave the wheels a coat of fresh paint.

More pics tomorrow.

Signs of a true Gear Head!!!

I cant believe the polish on the hood....

Anthony · Post by **Anthony** » May 16, 2010, 6:51 am

Looks to me as if Mcguires should be paying YOU for using their stuff!! looking good Wyatt and I like the wrench idea.... looks sweet....

Rusty 63 · Post by **Rusty 63** » May 16, 2010, 8:24 am

Yeah the wrench idea is neat! I might've opted for a 3/4-7/8 double box wrench since they have that swoop to them...

Michelle · Post by **Michelle** » May 16, 2010, 8:51 am

The wrench ideal could be expensive if you used Snap On. On the other hand if you use Buffalo wrenches I would at least grind off the word Buffalo, made in China. Kidding aside, you have a unique ideal there.

While working on my tailgate, My brother got a little creative.

It's all in fun. I told him I was going to put a big blue oval on his Malibue convertable top. Now that would be nasty.

His car is sweet.
