Found this picture from a couple months ago,

I continued working on the Accuair install as well as the Boyd's Welding fuel tank, filter and feed line.

You can see the VU4 location and tank here. (sorry for the ultra dirty frame)..

Not a fancy pic of progress, but a milestone none the less.. Here is one of the big ticket items.. A new bed! yup, both bedsides, new steel floor, front panel, even have a new set of fender wells.. Thankfully the tailgate is actually pretty nice, which I think is worth the effort to keep.

Looks like some very nice parts you are accumulating.

Even though the boy (young Man) is off at Air Force Tech School, I actually made "some" progress on his truck.. OK, not back to my projects.. lol

Pics are after the initial coat of primer

He has a little less than a month to go, currently top of his class.. in What else, Automotive / Industrial and small engine maintenance..

Nice project. Sub'd

Twisted78SS · 10-24-2014, 01:16 PM

A few more before I tucked her away.. More to come when he returns,
Finish the Accuair install, brake lines, and so on...

Looks good. Have you decided on a color yet?

Twisted78SS · 10-24-2014, 04:35 PM

He has,

We got a hold of some Sikkens Argent Silver, (thanks BigBlock68) and for the interior, he is going Black. He's got a Buddy bucket that may get a houndstooth pattern .. He is thinking about some red accent to offset the silver, either in a stripe of some sort, or maybe the upper section of the hood.. On that he is still undecided.

Found a couple shots he apparently forgot to upload, I'm sure there are others. prepped and painted a bunch of smaller items a while back..
