Not yet, he is also doing the paint on my 67 extended cab truck. I am about ready to take it back to get the outside painted.

I am getting it done locally here in Vacaville at a Maaco shop. He has been doing a lot of the local hot rods lately. The painter does a good job and he has a few good body men working for him to get the job done.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-10-2008, 02:01 PM

Very cool. Can't wait to see this one done!

royo · 06-12-2008, 02:42 PM

extd56 · 09-04-2008, 07:41 PM

Well I talked to the painter today and they said they are going to prime the truck by the end of the day today and then get the inside fo the truck jammed along with the doors, fenders and hood jammed too. Now I need to find a place to put it.

From what i've seen of your Orange Truck you Have found a Good Painter for your Project's, Blow's the Theory about Maaco being Crap Paint

What Color you going on the Crew?

I am using the blue from the Dodge truck and maybe gray or silver for the top to break it up. I have used other shops for soem other projects that I have done before and it is always the prep that makes the paint job look good. I make sure to blast the vehicle and try and find the best sheet metal that I can so that they have a good start. I am not trying to build a show car, both of the trucks will be used all the time I hope. Once they are done they should never see atrailer again I hope.

extd56 · 09-11-2008, 10:16 AM

Here is the truck getting ready for the paint booth

extd56 · 09-11-2008, 10:27 AM

Well the inside of the cab has been painted, no more changing my mind about the color. The doors were removed for painting and the fenders and hood were also jammed too. I now get to start puttign it back together.

67ChevyRedneck · 09-11-2008, 10:58 AM

WOW!

19gmc67 · 09-11-2008, 02:17 PM

extd56 · 09-11-2008, 04:35 PM

It is a Dodge truck color, about 2003 or so.

You know Kevin, Every time I re-read this thread, I become more impressed with your handy work, I have read the whole thing about 8 times now. It is sure inspirational. Your work always seems to be first class and done right. Even has me thinking about stretching my dually.

With your 4 door burb, you should make a video, it is something id pay good money to see.

Well they grew them on trees out here, big heavy branches too. I am getting too old to be pushing this thing around. It needs a motor or a younger owner. I even have 2 grandchildren that do not want to help, just want to sit in the truck. I can't wait until they get a job.

OARNGESI · 11-13-2008, 05:02 AM

Any progress

extd56 · 11-13-2008, 07:21 PM

I have the truck at home right now, working on the 67 extended cab to get the interior done. I will be mocking up the motor in the crew cab soon.

LOW DOUGH · 11-14-2008, 12:02 AM

cool! Can't wait

extd56 · 11-19-2008, 06:46 PM

A few pictures of the front end on the truck before I remove it again to install the motor

LOW DOUGH · 11-20-2008, 10:17 AM

Very cool.

That is super nice! You have alot of endurance to stick with this build. I can't even image the hours in this trucks. I'm tired after just reading the thread.
I've always been against having a 4wd & not putting it in the mud. But you better not this one,it's way to nice to do that!
