Danny,
It will definately be a DIY paint job. I have been looking into brushing and rattle can paint jobs and have seen good results with both. Just something I can drive and enjoy.

My main reason for sanding the dash (and the rest of the interior soon) is to get rid of the red paint that is flaking off everywhere. I'm not sure what I'm going to do color-wise yet. Sometimes I think it would be cool to re-do the green, other days I think red would be the way to go. Will probably...

The green dash under all the red paint:

You guys were right, it was a Bell truck. I found this decal under the previous owners paint job:

“No job is so important and no service is so urgent that we cannot take time to perform our work safely.”

Roger, I bought the truck a few months ago and upon hearing the engine run for the first time it was my dad who mentioned the valve tick-tick-tick-tick-like clutter. My only experience in repair has been bolt-on up to this point. I'm not sure if this is something I could do with my skill-set so I wo...

I would like to get an original radio back in it but may have to go with some kind of radio delete to cover up the m...

Thanks everyone. You really know how to make a newbie feel welcome! The door VIN tag did include a 6 digit DSO code: 744722. Was delivered to Seattle, WA where it has been ever since. That makes more sense now as far as the shade of the green paint goes.

That was one thing I was confused by is that the color code on the tag is, in fact, blank. Also the green looks darker than the '65 Holly Green.

Greetings from a 1st time Slick owner and 1st time poster. I bought this single-family owned '65 flareside a few weeks ago and have been learning the ins and outs as best as I can make out but there are a few things I have some questions about. Rather than list a bunch here I will leave this as more...
