Ingo, the box looks great, but I need your help with my confusion. In the photos above in the paint booth I see both the box and the rear fenders painted, yet when I see the photo of the box remounted on the truck, I see rear fenders mounted on the box that look like they are being worked on. What fenders am I seeing in the paint booth?

It is amazing, all the work that goes into rebuilding a truck, but the paint is where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.. We all know that there is more work in the preparation for paint, than the paint itself, but the application of paint is where the project starts to shine. No pun intended.

Thank you guys,
yes that's right when paint is applied it's something special, then you see the progress.
Whereby here actually the painting should not play any role, but since it was clear that a new bed was needed, painting could not be avoided. Basically, this should only be a technical revision.
In the meantime i started assembling some frontend sheetmetal.
Cut the round hole in the Fanshroud because I needed the aluminum sheet for the base plate of the fuse box .
Put the transmission oil cooler in its place.
Started with wiring.
Installed Carburator, Distributor and Ignition Coil.
