I would get that tile floor checked if I was you....you have almost no oil pressure and your floor is starting to run hot.;)

Got the Utility bed off, and got most of the dirt/grime off the frame, leaf springs, and rearend.

Just a quick update. I ordered a spray can of "Terrace Blue" code 509 from Napa.

Turns out it matches almost perfectly with the current paint. A touch darker than the original paint job underneath and inside the cab, but so close that I think the original paint just faded.


The can said 1962-1968 for the paint code. So maybe the reason for the "Special Paint" on the SPID? I will be painting the regular bed with this color and leaving the rest of the paint alone other than a few touch-ups.

I will post pictures tomorrow.

Bittersweet, but in light of my second son on the way I will need to sell this truck. I will be installing the utility bed again. I have pretty much finished the 14bolt disk brake upgrade (only have to move a shock mount) and I have installed 2" drop shackles.

Will also throw in a spare 350/350 combo I have laying around. Sucks, but maybe one day I can get another one.

Having enough money for the hospital bill is more important

Sorry you have to sell. Congrats on the new addition to your family.

Thanks! My first son will be almost 2yrs old when the second is born, and I can't wait to see how they interact:lol:
