More PAINT!!!! I have all the bed pieces painted and decided to get them out of harms way, it would be best to mount them all up. So here's the bed on the truck and I couldn't be happier with how easy it went together. I used single stage paint mainly to mimic the older style finish. I sprayed it with my Devilbiss gun and it laid down extremely nice. I stained the wood to the bed and have an idea for a nice set of bed stakkes and rails to put on after the cab is mounted. The wood is protected by three heavy coats of Marine Spar Varnish. And a good shot of the engine finally done. I used decals from various years to get the appearance I was after. I used GMC Workmaster V8 valve cover decals too! Corbin spring clips, metal advance/choke line, glass bowl fuel filter, and the transmission I decided to paint flat black to make it appear at first glance as the old clunky, cast iron three-speed. All to look like a factory installation. No screw clips, Pertronix chrome coil, chrome traingular Edelbrock air filter. Just two more spark plug seperators to mount and then this is done. The Generator is actually a Power Master alternator disguised as a generator. I even added the tags. The whole harness inside the engine bay will be wrapped in the old tyme style asphalt coated cloth like the original had. So you won't see &quot;L Park Light....L Park Light....L Park Light.....&quot; every three inches!

This is where I stand now on the truck. I'll update here once a month from now on. My target completion time is at the end of ther year and I want to have the truck done for the Autorama in Dallas in February. Should have it done with no problem, but I'm pretty sure something will go wrong along the way. How's about them negative waves, Moriarity!!!
