Bed Painted

Post by BigMike »

I wish I'd have done this a long time ago. The truck is just about ready for its new owner. Need to bolt the bed down, install the tailgate and saddle tanks.

very nice job.
I know what you mean about…"I wish I'd have done this along time ago"
But how is it we don't learn that lesson and apply it more often!

That would be me. Nice of Mike to do such quality work for me. Must be a Southern hospitality thing.

Had I known it was for sale I would have jumped on it.

Instead I spent 23k + 07 Road King on a new CVO Road King.

I would have been glad to keep the 07 and add the 65 to the garage.

That looks like a nice, straight bed and floor!

I'll never find another Slick as straight and rust free as this one. It was a very fun project and I learned so much about Slicks. I'm sure there will be another one in my future.

One thing that I forgot to John before he bought it, she is an attention whore. He might get tired of everyone telling him what a beautful truck that he has. :D

Thanks, and it does make me want to keep. But there are other projects and no room.

I got the saddle tanks installed Saturday. New fuel lines and even put inline filters in for extra protectsion.
