Paint



They were able to paint the bed of the truck over the last week and it looks so good. I went with the original, single-stage paint to keep the original look. The color is Dune Beige, PPG 416. The guys thought I was silly for using single stage paint, but that's how it was painted in 1972 and I wanted to keep it as it was.



Next we are going to start painting the parts like the hood, which turned out so good.



Removing the years of weather stripping glue from around the doors took work with a torch and a speed wheel, but they are looking great.
