That's gonna be a fine looking truck. The worst part of painting is the prep and masking and it looks like they did plenty of both! Can't wait to see the finished product.

That will be one cool ride.  Looking forward to seeing it with color on it.

Well.......Yes , It shines .I had decided to paint the truck ALL Tan , they did that.... after looking at it though ,I decided I really liked the two tone , the white roof , bumpers and grill.SO........its been changed...Back to Original.
Anyways.....They are putting things back together, door gaskets, window gaskets ...pieces and parts...lol
I'm currently doin the wood for the bed and polishing bolt heads etc. Found a better rear bumper and its being undented....lol .Got a couple of kits from Totally Stainless...so ,that will get installed also... still lots to do ,But ,I am excited about this, its been many years since its had good paint on it...
thanks

Well Ray stopped by today with the 62 and I think it looks great. He has some finishig touches to get it to his liking, but over all I would drive the dog $#@# out of it. The engine and exhaust notes are perfect for a straight 6.
Have a look guys..... John

Ray,
Looks great!  The color really fits the truck.  Glad you got the issues squared away.
