Well tailgate has been blocked and is primered again along with the bumper and grill getting even closer

 

Wow guys this thread is getting old and I know I've said time and time again that it's almost done but the whole deal has been kinda screwed up learned a lesson out of it though anyway but I'm finally busting but to finish last few body details so it can be painted here's a couple update pics from tonight

 

Well got few spots touched up with bit more primer top of cab is blocked and ready tailgate is pretty well ready to im so close to being ready to paint finally

 

Also got grill painted and I'm gonna paint bezels and bumper plastics to tonight try to get piddly stuff finished for it and ready

 

You said there were mistakes which I didn't catch previously. It was something to do with your turbo though right?

I've been trying to keep up with things here and there but some of these threads escape me. You had a d66 as well right, but you purchased it from ebay if I recall correctly. I didn't see what the result was so hopefully it wasn't too expensive of a fix!

 

This is build thread for another truck I'm building to sell my other thread for my dd is the one where I've replaced my engine to coolant and air in coolant issues probably head gasket issues but long story shot turbo is making a odd noise now but still seems perfect fine been running it for about 400 miles with noise without issues it has me fumbled but I'm just gonna keep running it for now and keep checking it just hauled two loads of scrap off with it as I had to or power was being shut off at our shop one load I grossed 24,460 pounds hauled about 60 miles that way no issues and no major egt issues either so I decided I'm just gonna run it and monitor it

 

One with 6.0 loaded up was just for kicks though it was a funny haha

 

Well just about ready to paint it finally possibly tomorrow or Sunday I'll post pic of other side in just a few minutes

 

Looking good man these 7.3 are good at pulling loads around I love the 7.3 but I also love the sound of a straight pipe 6.doh lol... they sound bad ***.

 

I will agree there my other buddy has a single cab auto tuned and exhaust and it screams sounds sweet
heres the other pics though of truck

 

Well spent the day guys cleaning our paint room it was looking pretty ruff

 

Well instead of the pearl white I'm going with a Oxford white with metallic added to it think it'll look sharp what do you guys think

 

I think that should look great.

 

Well guys as I should be used to by now didn't get paint on it just yet but I'm close talked to my grandpa about paint he's been body man for long time and he said can't add Matallic to Oxford so I've been researching options for Matallic with white and well I found a solution I can paint truck Oxford white then in my first coat of clear add a Matallic in with clear then in last two coats straight clear again talked with my grandpa about this option and he said that would work but I should spray some test panels I don't have any white on hand so he said use my white tailgate I've got just as a test subject here's pics for u guys take note it's over old paint just a test panel
