It always surprises me how good a rattle can paint job can look! Gives me hope for my plans for a satin black rattle can paint job.

My pervious one came out alot better than this one did. It was hard to cover all like 8 layers of black primer and runs from the pervious owner.

I also bought a new parts truck i been seeing this truck in a field for years so me and dad stopped and asked about it and 425 bucks later i own it.

Looking good.

Howdy guy,

Finally got the parts truck home me and dad tow bared home with our 4cyl 5spd ranger and today I started to clean it up and get rid of what was left of the bed. The parts truck is a 71/2 bought brand new a few miles from my house and was a special order truck and it was used its whole life on the farm haulin hogs around SW Mo. The plan now is almost an exact copy of what i did a few years ago with my last 70 but I'm planning on pullin the locked up 360 out and putting my mild buid 302 in front of the 4spd and my bed and whatever else it needs off my 70 on to it. I'm gonna go ahead and pop the cab off to undercoat everything and do new bushings an x pipe. Here's todays progress
