Ohh in my mind I took "freshly" as in soon as it was painted but we wrapped the whole frame in plastic and taped it all up that last pic was when our new painter was doing some touch up on some dents that he just fixed but all in all my bad I misunderstood it lol

Thats a sweet looking build treese! I love to se these bullnoses getting restored. You are right though, I never see the flareside stuff getting redone. I know they werent as popular and probably werent as many made as the stylesides. That truck should be worth something in the near future. Especially since you took it all the way down like that.

I didnt know the stepside term was GM either. There are lot of terms used that arent Ford terms. Cruise control is GM, speed control is Ford. Posi trac is GM and Limited slip is Ford. Just a few tips to keep the terminology ***** off of us.

Yeah in the last pic that was our new painter he was spraying primer over ah couple quarter sized dents that he fixed with some bondo keep in mind that whole cab was sprayed in primer while the plastic was on the frame, in that last pic he wasnt spraying enough to worry about the frame it was just ah couple touch up's, lol you'll see in later pics of how much we worried about the frame getting paint on it

Pictue time fellas! In this part of the build we spray the cab with some color! The paint brand that we used is PPG i dont remember what brand of clear coat we used lol but we sprayed like 2 or 3 coats of clear. The color in case your wondering is Toreador Red Pearl Metalic.
