Been busy on the truck
Hi gang.
Been busy doing little stuff on the truck.
Worked on all the spots and signal lights. 2 spots will be back up light, 1 'A" pillar on the left side, and 2 6' red Signal lights for the front bumper. Took them all apart, cleaned them up on the buffer, added new wiring.
The 6' red ones will have to be painted. Chrome is shot.
Then took apart my mirrors. All the arms will be painted silver, but I was pleased to find that the actual mirrors were stainless steel, with 61 years of paint on them. I cleaned them up and they came out ok.
I will have to get all new door handles. they work, but are really pitted up and look like doodoo
Then I temporarily mounted my doors. (thanks Charlie ) I will drill the alignment holes tomorrow.

Getting some wood, diamond plate and booster reel
Hi Gang,
Been having a good couple of weeks. I purchased my bed wood. It is Cypress and started finishing it today. I also got some diamond plate for a few places and also installed my booster reel. Hopefully, I will have the bed floor in this week or next. the spar varnish is a little tough to dry in this humidity.
