Thanks for the offer but he said it's not for sale.

That one was a frame off and was quite the project.
I think it's got about 100 miles on it since it was completed.
I'll try and post some more pics of it later though.

Larry, I'm curious, why did you leave the cab on when you took it to be blasted? Looks like everything else was off lol, only 4 more bolts. Were you able to get to everything under there with the blaster ok? I ask because I am going to blast mine soon I hope and have been wondering how far down I want to strip it. Also, what would you paint the undersides of the cab, bed etc with? And I mean the insides of the bed body panels, a good primer? I was thinking about POR15.

We left the cab on because it needed to be moved around quite a bit and it's a lot easier to do with the steering wheel attached.
The blaster was able to get to everything he needed to even with the cab on.
This truck has NO rust whatsoever so it was not a big concern.
Undersides, cab lower walls and floor will get POR as will the bed.

Should be able to get some work done today on it and get some more pics up.

Ready for prime!

Larry, can you tell me what rims are on the project truck? and what size they are?
My project is in need of rims and I have not seen those before. They would match my project perfect.

They are Einkie wheels.
I'm not sure if they are staying or going yet.
I'll let you know.
