With a makeshift rotisserie, I got some frame paint on today. Hoping for decent weather tomorrow to spray some semi gloss OD.

I like the rotisserie, a nice piece of innovation but it took me a moment to work out what the ladder and ridge pole was for.

It is amazing how a coat of paint cheers things up. Soon you will be building up a 'new' truck.

I was working under the threat of a rogue rain cloud coming by, so a plan for quick cover was necessary. Yes I agree, a bit of paint cheers things up, and gets me one step closer to another milestone.

Great alternate use for a cargo tarp, Wayne! A little higher and you could get one heck of a family gathering dinner table under it!

Not a cargo tarp, but a center section of modular. They are perfect for this type of thing.....hard to find a better tarp for corded firewood.

Default Serial number

Nice job Wayne. Were you able to spot the hand-stamped serial number on the outer left frame rail near the forward rear spring hanger? Faintly stamped and should match the glove box door serial number.

Hi Brian. Yes the s/n was clearly visible and does match my data plates.

Sorry to be critical, but I can't say I am a fan of using those Michelin radials on a restoration that is at this level.

I am sorry Wayne but I agree with Rob. Bar Grips are so easily available (at least here in the UK) and in keeping with the truck. I do grant you though that the Michelins will last longer, give you more grip on the road and probably be quieter too but having done this nice a job so far......
