The 15x10 Wheel Vintique rally's have been powdercoated the correct color and shod with BFG Radial TA 275/60's. Much thanks to jdurant - I have a set of new Astro van beauty rings that fit MUCH better. And there's a bunch of parts laying around - Western Chassis 2" drop shackles, Belltech 3" drop front spindles, Belltech shocks, Husky OEM replacement front coil springs, and other misc stuff.

Then I came to a stop. The truck lived much of it's life in rural Alabama and did many of its miles on gravel roads - the underside of the truck looks partially sandblasted and gravel chipped. So I did some searching and found a place that sells OEM colors in rattle can. That'll be good enough for the bottom of the tub and the wheel wells. The frame, rear axle, front suspension components will get a shot of semi-gloss black then I'll do the bottom of the tub in 1965 Corvette Nassau Blue - the color the truck will eventually will be sprayed.

After the bottom is painted, I'll get on the suspension. Like most projects, the scope grows exponentially once you get started. I'm not sure if I'll remove the rear overload spring yet, I'll have to see how it looks with the shackle drop and spacers removed.

Right now I'm trying to find someone to at least pressure wash but preferably steam clean the under carriage before I paint. No mud there, just the typical greasemud buildup on the rear pumpkin and front suspension.

I'm on it...
