A little update. I changed the Dana 60 axle out and put a 12 bolt 5 lug in it so I could get some better looking wheels. I got the axel off of FB market and rebuilt it. I’ll add LSD later after I make sure the axle is smooth and quiet. It is all back together except I need a one piece drive... -
My 62 Chevy C10 project
My parents had an old Ford Courier back in 76 that I remember gong to the beach in. Cool little trucks -

It is a steel bed with wood inserts. Yes I cut the inserts and then put them in. I got the idea from a vendor at Jeepfest. -

After the Epoxy primer came some minor filler work and then 2K primer. The sandable stuff that fills in minor imperfections and really makes the paint job stand out. Again, this stuff sprayed great and sanded even better. By the way I hate sanding! it really sucks. I sanded the entire interior... -

Well with all of the rust gone and the new gas tank installed it was finally time for paint. 3 months to figure out the color and another 3 months to get up the nerve to start spraying. I decided on Porsche Grey Black or Grauschwarz if your German. Here is the color on a Porsche. So for the... -

One of the cool things about these old trucks is the gas tank is in the cab with you. Well I’m a not big on riding around with 20 gal of gasoline 3 inches from my backside. So I figured I might as well relocate the gas tank under the bed away from me. This ment a new gas tank was needed. Also... -

So now the frame was cut down and I had the short bed at the house I had to try it on for size. At this point I decided the whole truck would need a repaint. There was no way I could match the crappy blue paint and I did not want a black and blue truck. Liking the short bed look already. So... -

Haha, so you would think halfway there. But no this was only the first 10%. -

Jan of 2021 I started the short bed conversion. First I had to strip the bed off of the truck, no easy task when you are trying to unbolt 50 year old rusted up bolts. But I eventually got the bed off and due to all of the rest I decided not to cut the bed down but to just buy a new reproduction... -

So about 4 years ago I decided I wanted an old truck. Cause everybody needs a car that is older then their kids, gets 7 miles to the gallon, and breaks down all the time. So I started out with a 1984 Ford pick up. Great truck, little bit of rust and I traded into it for an AK that I was not...
