looking good

Yeah it turned out after so many problems If anyone ever uses Dupont Chroma Base Make Certain that you get the right basemaker for the temp you are working in.

The paint store gave up basemaker for use in 60 degree weather that worked out great today since it was in the 60s. Too bad they gave it to us 2 months ago when it was 90+

I was starting to wonder if your truck was out of paint yet. I cant wait to see it all together again.

Toolboy23 · 10-15-2004, 08:37 PM

I found a set of those nuts on ebay, I think I paid $47 and that included shipping. Thay were brand new and worked great.

*1972C10* · 10-15-2004, 09:56 PM

Here is what mine looked like before paint with the late model caps.

**N2TRUX** · 10-15-2004, 11:32 PM

1972C10 your truck is looking good. Looks like you need to clean the lense on your camera though. I think your getting all hot looking at your paint and fogging it up...

Toolboy23 if you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your tire/wheel combo. If you would rather PM me with the answer. I have a brand new set I need to sell....

Toolboy23 · 10-15-2004, 11:48 PM

I got them off ebay also. I won the auction @ $575 + $100 shipping. I think it was an awesome deal. They were brand new take-offs. I had been looking for a while and that was as cheap as I had found. I was usually finding them (even locally) in the $900 range.

Few Pics Of The Tailgate Stuff I had chromed.

76cheyenne · 10-16-2004, 03:42 PM

R U getting a spray in bed liner for it?

*1972C10* · 10-16-2004, 06:52 PM

I want a Rino Liner but I dont have the funds at the moment. My friend is going to paint the inside of the bed at a later time.. I still have to hack a hole in it for my removeable Gooseneck Hitch as well as saftey chain holes. Few this and that stuff and then he will spray it with arcylic enamel or the urethane like he used on the truck i really dont care as i do plan on putting a spray in liner in .. In the future.

And im sure by then it will need one.
