Bare metal, self etching primer, rustoleum hammered black. Thanks for the compliments, I was unsure at first, but really like the contrast, and hides small imperfections. It really pops in the front against black wheel wells!

 

Ready for these christmas gifts to get in and be able to really show some progress!!

 

Finally messed with my new powder color some...




Did my filler neck, thinking Ill do engine bracketry, covers, oil pan this color, just for something interesting under the hood.


Also cleaned some of my dirty teenage idiocracy off the underside with the assistance of a buddy and le gf

 

Got parts rolling in...




I cleaned the tank out, installed new Bosch pump ( was free bc of lifetime replacent, luckily truck was vortec so itll support the swap) then sprayed the outside and cover w cheap bedliner, pic makes the finish look uneven, but its not.


Then went with 5 cans of duplicolor bed armor on the bottom of the bed, love the hard finish and rich black, once again, not uneven as the pic looks



Then sat the bed on and moved some of my million parts and rolled her inside, will sit inside on stands a while because wheels are selling this wk and.my new ones are backordered. Next few days will be spent organizing all my parts and cleaning up, then start engine work, on to pics, yes I have a lot of stuff haha

 

Nice work! Its cool how you have a long history with this truck... Its one thing to still have it, but even better to rebuild it with such detail and a hot motor. Very cool.
