So very well said!

More clean, prep, paint/coat..repeat. But it's looking better.

Got the front-end minus the sway bar and gear box done. I need to take the sway bar to the blaster. Whats the best method of cleaning the gear box before I do a rebuild on it? :fb:

Here are some more pictures. I really am liking how the red and black is turning out. My HF powder coat system is working out alright. :bling2:

x3 That is and is going to be a sharp truck!



And to add to thread, i checked and adjusted my timing a bit, adjusting idle mixture screws to improve vacuum, and blew a brake line in the driveway coming back from taking the trash off.

Did a little bed floor repair. When I started this, several days ago, I thought, this won't take long. Boy was I wrong. The old floor put up a good fight coming out.

I ordered the patch panel from LMC, but then had to cut it up to fit in the corner properly (sorta). FYI, the panels are not a real good match. The profiles are a little different.

Got my drive shaft installed.
Now the C50 is back on the road, super singles and disk brakes in the back. Think the sway bar is big enough?
Long bed installation is next after a little rear end cleanup. Then tackle finding a front axle with disk also!
