TF, can you tell me a little bit about your bed floor? Did you have it bent, or just butt weld it to the side panels? Think you may get the stuff I am asking. I need to do something with mine, it looks like the Atlantic ocean on a windy day.

i had it cut to length and had a 1/2 bend put on the ends except the rears and the front which is butt welded and on the front , the front lays on a 2x2 angle on top of the torque box and the sides are bent

finally got the motor in and started tearing it down to put the carb and manifold on it after i fought with it for about an 1 1/2 to later find out speedway accidentally sent me a big block mount. once the right one came it only took about 5 min and it was in.

You do realize with as cool as you have gone - you are now obligated to bring it to Slick Stock next year!

those shirts are cool, and the truck is looking killer.

twistedfreak · Post by **twistedfreak** » June 30, 2009, 8:32 pm

heres the original rendering that i was going to do the truck but i might change it to go like the shirt.

and the new motor parts that came today in the mail now just a new water pump alternator and some pulleys and its should start oh yea a starter and fuel pump

Post by **Greg D** » June 30, 2009, 9:15 pm

Gee - my roof seam looks an awful lot like yours right no, LOL. I Like the rendering, and the White Green 2 tone - tough choice. Are you going to actually cut the cut your grill center like the rendering, got me thinking - Hmmm.

some more work on this rare uni that i finished up today just some small spots but they small jobs just keep getting smaller so well keep welding away and get it finished up so maybe sometime this summer i can drive her.

TF...Your truck is amazing. I've been watching the build from your first posts.

I wouldn't want to have to make the call on the paint job. My wife digs orange, I'm partial to flames, the green and white 2-tone looks killer on your truck...

I noticed the later tailgate, lights, and lines in the rendering. Are you doing that? It would be aggressive, but if anybody can do it....

Keep up the good work!

some more work finished up today got the passenger side welded up and tomorrow the door jam. then hopefully i can start the body work.

Post by **Greg D** » July 2, 2009, 10:36 pm

That is looking real good, I did work on my cab seam some more today - almost done welding. 1/4 extensions next.
