Here's a closeup shot....you can see where the floorpans did have a little pitting in them, and if it wasn't for them, this floor might just be to purty to cover up with carpeting!
As I was taking these pictures this afternoon, it suddenly dawned on me that I'm about to the point where I really need to paint the cab. I really can't begin any further cab assembly until then! So...I guess over the next few days I'm going to have to sit down and start going through my picture collection and definitely decide on a color. As mentioned earlier, I'm kinda leaning towards Rangoon Red, although since this truck is mainly being built as a hauler for the 442, which is going to be midnight blue, I'm toying around with the idea of painting the truck the same color. I could do midnight blue with some silver accents, which I think would look really sharp.
...and here's a shot taken outside the shop today, showing the remnants of my parts trucks:
The rolling chassis is left over from the '67 F250 CS that donated the cab and fenders. I'm in the process of removing the rear differential and springs and will also be saving the front springs, since they were new just-installed springs when I got the truck. Then the frame will be hauled off to make room for the next parts truck....the '72 SWB truck that should be arriving within the next week or so, which will be supplying a box.
The blue '68 in the above photo was bought for the engine (a 390) but isn't needed anymore, since the 390 I'll be using is currently sitting in the back under the topper. I need to just pull the 390 out of this one and get it hauled away....there's very little that's useable on this one, and I've already robbed a lot of small parts, including cutting out a section of the dash for a forum member.
