Paul, that's a very nice truck you have there. I love the colors. Just curious, did you change out the bed at some point in time.

I think my uncle changed it out years ago, It did have 3 tanks when Dad bought it.

Well to start out everything was ok with the primer, and the green, but when it was time to open the white it turned out to be SILVER. I was freaking out and of course the place where I got the paint was closed, so we were scrambling to find a quart or 2 of bright white. So, while we were trying to find paint, the guy who owns the shop, started checking around and came up with a white they use to mix different colors with, so it went on and 4 shots of clear later it was white and super bright. He said this white is bright er than Arctic white and it is. So, after 20 minutes of running around , the problem was solved. and as for the paint I got from NAPA, I got my money back Monday after a few minutes of explaining why I should get it back.

All I can tell you is her name is Emily and she was really nice. She said it was the first truck she ever posed in front of and she thought it was really cool.

Yeah, shes not too bad, just kinda wonderin whats on her leg? Looks like a roach.

When I heard "horror stories" I thought something might of got damaged at the paint shop. Sounds like you got it under control. Again, nice job!

Just an update..... Went to a car show last week and took home a 2nd place trophy ,even though I lost the driver side mirror on the way to the show.

 

[flathead95hp]

Mirror and gasket fell out on the way to the show, Found the gasket on the side of the road the next day.

Cool . My dad had the cream and white combo in 78 . (My firdt complete tear down and redo .(I don't think I'd let my 14 yr old do that . Guess got cool dad.

Like the factory cap also. OH I remember the rims . I still like the hurricains . And HAd them on my 79.

But there is a 97 F350 with hurricains around here they look like he had them chromed . Boy do they stick out at the shows.

Any how excellent job . Dad will be surprised .

We kept dads 78 till 92 3 beds several fenders set doors and frame replacement we finally gave up. I'm glad u didn't .
