Bandit240 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Doesn't look too bad. $300 for a running truck would be a steal around here. I paid $180 for the POS 74 ive got. I love the wrench, is it metric? Quote Link to comment

I love the wrench, is it metric? HAHA i was waiting for that question, there are atleast 2 wrenches maybe three and i didnt actually look for a size, one is so snotted up i wont be able to tell, I hope there craftsman so when i cut them out and do a propper fix i can get new ones :lol::lol::lol: By the by if i hold on to this truck for a few months i will prob put new floor pans in it but my goal is to not do anything that will take it off the road for more than 2 days at a time:D Quote Link to comment

We need more pics:fu: I know right damn camera phone!:fu: so I think im going to rattle can the steelies red, any good suggestions on how to make it come out faded to get the patina look? im thining a light coat of white with a light coat of red, then do a light sanding on em...:confused: Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 if using rattle can, just shoot them when it's very cold outside and they should blush, giving that faded effect, if using spray gun , use same cold tech. but do very light coats with both types of spray, cold weather always makes paint blush/ fade , when done in light coats..:D Quote Link to comment

510er Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 so im doing the rising sun, but with a twist. Im going to do a solar eclipse im going to try to cross breed these three photographs and make a bad ass hood And i know its not a 620 hood :) So the background will be black and you can figure out the rest, if someone is a photo shop genius feel free Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 How about everything that is dark in your picture do it in red on the hood... everything light is in white. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 i'd have it air brushed.. well maybe just the eclipse part.. ya know? or make a nice pic with photoshop an see if u can have it made into some of that stuff they use to advertise on city buses and stuff.. its like window tint but with graphics an for the body not the glass Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Too bad I didn't see this earlier Owen, I'm pretty sure that is the 77 longbed that one of my neighbor's boyfriend sold a little while back. I would have bought it but balked on the rust. Same exact paint scheme, but is yours long bed? Quote Link to comment
510er Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 yeah matt it is the long box, who ever had it got it towed the guy i bought it from bought if from an abandoned vehicle auction. Not a big deal about the rust... since that is what i do and all haha. About the hood graphic, im not going to do a vynal like lynch said im thinking im going to do a light coat white circle then do a light coat of red over the top and while its still tacky im going to sand a bit down to get the combo of pinks white reds and black, and as for the rays of the sun im going to do a few light coats of white with a coat of red over the top, and then when its dry im going to hard sand the edges to blend with the back and light sand the red to fade the rays. in my head it works. I have an airbrush and am pretty good with a few graphic techniques but not lately if you know what i mean Quote Link to comment
