PROGRESS is the word of the day. Had a nice weekend and got a chance to get some small stuff done on the truck. Put lockup kit in the tranny, and followed it with a new aluminum pan. Toped off some fluids. Installed the wiring harness for headlamps, finished up some small wiring odds and ends, put fresh gas and battery in. Fired it up for the first time since paint began.  May seem small to most but huge success to myself. Sat in the cab and listened to some classic rock for a moment of reflection. Just wanted to update on some progress. A few more small things to button up and we will go on a test run. Weather breaks and I can finish body work on the bed. Of course pictures will come as i move forward.

     Looks great, how long did it take you ? And what did you have to do for prep ?

Thank you. Prep was time consuming. It had a real old blotchy coating of undercoating..l used a small scraper to go with the floor indents and scraped up any loose pieces. Ground out any rusty areas and put some rust seal on areas as needed. Bought a cone shaped wire wheel and welded to a 4' thin rod and stuck in drill to get inside the mounts and scrape out rust.
Spraying the liner took maybe 40 minutes total. Very slow spraying stuff . Mixing and cleanup probably consumed 15 -20 minutes.

I bet that helps fathoms with road noise. You should do under the cab as well.

I guess you could call it spring cleaning. Got the trucks out in the sunlight and cleaned them up. Also found a set of wheels I'm thinking about putting on. Ignore the tires though, they won't stay

     It is going to look like a truck again real quick, that is sure a nice blue color.
