    Cool truck man! Little tip for ya on the stainless, hit it up with baking soda, water and the next to finest steel wool you can get. It will clean the oxidization off and it will look brand new!

    How much are you getting for a bail of hay delivered? :D Looking good and I love these old trucks.
     
  7. Nice looking truck! Easy to work on, parts are plentiful, repro or used. I just might be in the market for one myself. I'm partial to a '64-66 C10 but would consider up to a C30.

    Very nice. I really like the looks of your build. Not trying to thread jack, Was the gauge cluster hard to get out? My 64 C30 cluster only comes out about and inch and wont budge.

    I'm loving it! Not to mention, you must get all kinds of time/ be single or at least not have kids to get so much done so fast! My 61 Suburban was movin at a good little clip so I thought, but this is amazing. Keep us posted! And X2 on that 3/4 shot, and we still have no drivetrain details...

    I like the "Clean Functional Look" you have pulled off!
    Name your Wise Paint Chose brand - if you don't mind.
    Class A on the stripes!!

    Extremely good project and with that flat bed you'll get even more use out of it than with a conventional box. Keep us updated with any progress,
