:lol: I have definitely been dragging my feet....stick to it and you will have it done in no time :thup: in the past 5 years I moved once, built a shop, bought a rental house and finished the basement, and had 2 kids. The truck has spent a lot of time on the bottom of my priority list, but now I'm determined to get it done. Now that it has some paint on it and we can actually try switching the ratchets to the "ON" position it is definitely a great feeling! :D

Looking good sir!

My theorem is to not have a deadline, just have small daily goals. That way it's moving forward and I ain't unhappy with myself.

Looks real nice. I love the color. I am working on a red 1970 that my dad bought new. I also have another that I want to start on but its a 72 with hardly any rust. I got that one from Lethbridge.
Where did you get the paint and body work form? I live near Edmonton. Alberta Beach actually, I need someone to do some body work and paint. I have 4 parts trucks to pick from. :D

I had my paint done by a friend who lives near Hanna Alberta (about 4 hours from you I'm guessing) He doesn't really have a business, it is just something he does on the side in his spare time. He works full time in the oilpatch so he only worked on mine in his days off.....so he had it for almost 2 years. If you're interested (and patient) I can ask him if he wants to take on another one.....he isn't cheap, but nobody in Alberta is. I think if I did another one I would buy it stateside and have all the work done down there too. I'm going to have a small fortune into mine, but it will be awesome, so who cares!

My latest progress is I went down to the US border and picked up a new tailgate (my only missing piece of sheetmetal) I took a Mercury tailgate down with me and shipped it to a guy who wanted one, I ended up doing ok on the deal sold the Mercury for more than the new one cost. The truck should finally be at my house within a few weeks.......can't wait.

Looking good. I am still mixed on the fender tips on the bed. One time I look at it I like them, then not so much. I am liking it more each time I look though. It is a different & definitely unique look. I think it makes me think of an older truck.
