Hey all. Thought I'd update everyone on my build. I'm getting closer. I still am waiting on the bed which should be done anytime now. It's still in Nebraska. I was able to get the front clip complete (with just a few touch up things to do) and get my wheels and tires on. I have to take apart the driver rear hub again to replace a wheel stud, but no big deal. Here are a few pics of the progress.

 

All I can say is WOW!! Man, truck is looking great Buck! I love that blue you put on there also! What did you use for seats in it?
Just noticed the frame color, that looks really cool!!

 

that truck looks friggin sweet!!! i have a 76 f150 custom that i would like to do the same too. keep up the good work!!!!!

 

Buck - Truck looks Awsome! I am with Pat, looking at your frame has me reconsidering how I am going to do mine on the 56. What did you use on the frame for paint?

 

Good job Buck.

 

I used the silver "Chassis Saver" paint. So far I'm happy with it, but I haven't seen how it holds up in the elements. The only thing would be that this paint is UV sensitive, but on the chassis, that doesn't matter too much. Probably a comparison to the paint would be the Rust Bullet. I got the idea of using Chassis Saver from a guy who restores Hot Rods up here and has been using it for years (so he told me) and really thought it held up well.

Thanks for the replys!!!!!

 

Wow, awesome truck! Love the blue. Those wheels look great too.

 

Nice looking truck Buck

 

I haven't said anything about this yet.........but............DANG! That thing is sharp. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. Kind of what I want to do with my '69.....blue paint and black interior. I think it looks really sharp!

The interior is really nice.

Buck - Did you brush or spray the paint on the frame?

 

Buck the truck is looking amazing! love it!

 

Wow, the interior and the engine look great. Very nice pickup.

 

Buck is a great inspiration to the rest of us with projects in the works!!
