Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks v2.0
Not sure, but it has all the welded in supports for carrying glass racks. It's squeaky now because someone put in a new clutch and the throw out bearing likes to squeak.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks v2.0
I'll try and wake up an old thread here. I'm a great fan of patina cars and trucks, so why not continue on the theme?
A few posts above I had just received my C30 (low down on page two, actually) . I noticed some text under the flat gray paint, and wet sanded the gray off the entire cab. A few days of sanding, and some flat clear made it look a whole lot better. Blasted and painted wheels with brand new rubber made it look more taken care of too. The truck lost its big steel bed, and will get a new, smaller wooden flatbead later. The project got put on ice for a couple years, but it's well under way again, and I plan to drive it next summer. ![]() Last edited by flatbed67; 12-07-2017 at 03:27 PM. |

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks v2.0
She's a beaut! I like the colors. I wish I still had my K/20 to put next to it. These pictures make the original paint look better than it was

The background terrain in your photos could be from around here. In fact, that building in the background of photo 4, the one with the Coca Cola sign, looks like one south of here on HWY 7 at "Who'd a Thought It". I love the K20 too.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks v2.0
TV commercials on the morning news
![]() I remember people asking "Where's your area code?". Back then the whole state had one area code, but VA, WVA, PA, and even DE are all close. Oh yeah, Washington DC too. I'd just say "They'll figure it out". You only had to dial the area code when calling out of state. But you remember that. Up home where my mom lives, before we were required to dial the area code within the area, you only had to dial the last 4 digits for local calls. The whole county had the same exchange. The farm is the old Rush family farm. Jesse and Bobby Rush lived in the newer house on a piece they broke off the farm and just up the other way is Rush Chapel. I used my folks' address for many years before I settled into my own place. My address on my drivers license was Rush Chapel Friendsville, MD zip People would say "But you have to have a street number" and I'd say "The mailman doesn't" Yeah, that's what I liked about your part of the country, felt like home. That was a roadside shop along the road through the Shenandoah Valley between Winchester and Front Royal, VA. The road taken to enter the national park and Skyline Drive. I've read it was the Scots Irish from SW VA and TN mountains that settled early in AR and they liked the familiarity of the land.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks v2.0
I use a product manufactured by Loctite called Extend. It's a rust neutralizer.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks v2.0
I usually buy 4 cans at a time. I use it on everything. It's clear and you can get away with spraying it on rust and letting it overspray onto paint. Once it dries a little buffing will blend it all.
