Gary Lewis Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just a small update. Hi Gary and Dad's Truck. Cool! I like the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Cool! I like the color. I figured you would. Didn't really occur to me until I cleaned it up how close it was. Unfortunately it's not the original wimbledon white that this truck left the assembly line as, but I'm not in any hurry to change it back, it's a nice color for sure. I will post update pictures another day since the cab is already sitting on the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, paint is at the very end of my list, and I'll be driving this truck multi-colored for quite some time before paint happens. And I may never get around to painting it. I really don't know at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the cab back on the frame, and it's starting to look like a truck again. Also have the bullnose dash 75% mounted. Need to make the upper mounts solid and then the dash will be ready for permanent installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 You are really making progress, Shaun. Yes sir, looking good. I'd love to be that far on my 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Yes sir, looking good. I'd love to be that far on my 85. Thanks guys. I'm determined to get this one done, that's for sure. Next course of action is to get the truck sitting on all four wheels. From there I can start working on the drivetrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
