Dang that is purdy ! I saw that one picture with the cab back off? and thought you were making into a crew cab ! You shouldn't have waited so long to post.. nice looking work !
I just wanted to add I have never, and I mean NEVER seen one of these cabs with the entire back tin off, interesting.

Ha ! yea after i chiseled the gallon or so of filler off the drivers side rear corner and found how mangled it was i decided to replace the whole back panel with a decent one i found at the junkyard. I also welded and filled the seam around the back of the roof while I was at it.

Awesome looking project.
Are you going to weld the back bed seam and radius the bed seam going from the front to the back?

I'm definitely gonna weld the rear vertical seam and fill it, I'm not sure about the horizontal seam yet. Rite now i want to get the engine back in get it wired then get back on the body work.

Love the paint work, is that candy tangerine over your silver base coat? I've seen motorcycle lifts used a lot of different ways and you just added another use. Keep up the good work. FLAME ON!!!

Its House of Kolor UK11 kandy apple over silver flake. the picture does look more orange and the flake never shows up in pictures ! The rest of the body is HOK blue blood red.

I welded a piece of 3/8" rod in the side of my bed to form the radius. It was a lot of work but I think well worth the effort just to make the back bed corner match all the way down the side.

NICE! Did You Use A "Flake-Buster" Gun To Blow All That Flake On There Or Straight HVLP? Looks Like You Got Great Coverage...............

I just use a regular devillbis hvlp gun for the flakes with a tip that i drilled out and spray it on wet in h.o.k. intercoat clear. I never tried a flake buster to spray it dry. its very hard to get even coverage and the kandy is also a real pain. My roof and dash have something like 20 coats of material to get that effect!!!!!!
