Did some painting. Cab hood and drivers side fenders, all in flat for the moment. Bought satin in both colors for  next coat, Interior painted as well - gloss Navajo white...kind of a beige.

Finally started a little bodywork today. A few dints and dings, mostly sanding all the surface rust off and coating with self-etching primer. This truck will not have a big dollar paint job...something simple and cheap. Flat or satin look....maybe a little 2 tone effect. Here is flat black and Khaki
Hey...it's a truck. Junk and trash go in the bed!

Took truck out for longer test drive today. Temporarily fastened window in drivers door as temps were a little cool. Still have a few bugs to work out. Quieter now that I have insulated the cab. After sitting for 38 years put the truck back to work...hauled some items to storage unit! Got a few "thumbs up" along the way! Had to run the heater also. Used a GPS unit to compare the speedo...a little fast!

Re-worked the alternator pulley and brackets yesterday. Now runs steady and inline with water pump. Replaced drivers cowl panel, and welded patch panel behind drivers front wheel. Another pass on body filler where side vent once resided. Got divers side SS bed angle strip in.
Alot of drivers side items...truck is shoe-horned in my garage so wifey has plenty of room!

Converted the oil bath air cleaner to a paper element filter

Got the roof insulation in and headliner installed

Got the alternator installed and wired today, which completes the conversion to 12 volts. Up next...shocks, emergency brakes, turn signals
