Yes, I want to get them powder coated white, meaning I have to take them off, remove tires, sandblasted and powder coated. If I could clean them on the truck and paint them I might do that, just cant figure out how to do it without a compressor and a good sandblaster.. The original spare is still under the bed I was told last time I put tires on the front that one of the rims was slightly bent so I need to swap out the spare rim anyways, hate to do it but don't like all the tire weights I have on one of my rims..

Sorry Chevyfan I did not see this. I used Rustoleum 2X Ultra Gloss Deep Blue

There was a regular blue that might actually be closer to the original color but I liked the deep blue better.

First quote I got was 500 for 4 wheels, drive it in, they do it all, sounds like a reasonable cost for pulling the tires off, sandblasting, powdercoating then remounting and balancing... maybe I should buy some tires while they are working on it and have them put the new tires back on when they are finished save a few bucks.

Re: 1972 Custom/20 Custom Camper with Avocado Plaid

Nice work on the truck! I need to mask off my hub caps and paint the black on them. But that is low priority on the list.

Re: 1972 Custom/20 Custom Camper with Avocado Plaid

Mom found a new picture of the truck in its newness! 1972, dad standing in front 15 yrs younger than I am today and an uncle standing to the side. I see the mirrors were in the right place!

Re: 1972 Custom/20 Custom Camper with Avocado Plaid

[QUOTE=ApacheIvan;7970516]Its voyage home from PA. Now in Dallas as I put it all back together.



SPID



Engine now with AC all back in order, thought I was going to go to R134, but I am going to evacuate it all out and put R12 in it. Wrong muffler for that, but just does not blow very cold with the stock condenser.



Seat is done





Can you share some info on were you had the seat done ? Were the material came from to recover the seat ? This is exactllly what I need for our truck
Thanks !
