My 70 F250- Couple projects done

Post by towtruckerfour »

I've been working on my truck doing little things to it. Just a couple pictures.
Image
I sanded my bumper and repainted it. Almost looks chrome.
Image
Most the chrome wore off my dash so I cleaned it up and sprayed it with chrome colored spray paint and touched up the black with model paint.
Image
Finally finished sanding and priming the inside of the cab. Now just have to find the money to paint it.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Yeah, the mirror is long. The thing I like is when you look in it, you see like a panoramic view of everything behind you. It basicly eliminates any blind spots on the passenger side and even a little on the drivers side.

Yup, although smaller my paneramic one shows the whole back seat the very rear and both rear side windows.

Hey Kaptn. Thanks on the bumper. I liked how it turned out. This is the primer and paint I used. This is the same primer I used on the body of my truck. It is awesome primer..
