My garage is small, 24x24 and it is semi insulated, the ceiling, peak, overhead door, and two of the walls. Ihave one of those 50,000 BTU natural gas heaters mounted high on one end. I can warm it even on the coldest days into the 80's if I want. I usually keep it in the mid 40's all the time and turn it up when I'm out there. In the old days I used to use one of those Dual Mr Sun Radient heaters on a propane bottle with a box fan behind it to move air. And that would make it comforatable. The NG heater is the way to go if you can.

Now I know what I want for Christmas

Any updates, can't wait to see it painted?

Been awhile since I've done much to the truck. In December I slipped on the ice and fell in a bad way. I pulled the quad and tore the ACL in my right leg. Which kept me from doing anything in the garage for about 2 1/2 months. Combine that with the miserable winter we had. I just started back on the project recently. I did get the inside of box roughed out and primed.

Tailgate primed too.

Removing paint from the body. Truck is very solid. Only ran into a couple small spots of rust.

At some point the paint must have flaked off under the side mouldings. Then it sat out like that as there is some pitting on the box side. However there is no rust through. The other side of the box did not have this problem.

Im far from paint. Looking good. Always nice to start with a fairly solid foundation

Looking good and solid.

Nice progress

Other side sanded. No rust surprises. Truack is extremely solid for it's age.

If only there was a way to guarantee it wouldn't rust, I'd clear coat it. Oh well, it'll look great back in its original colors. The rest of us can only wish to start with such a solid foundation.

Got the truck back from the paint shop late Saturday.

They jammed up the Passengers side door latch, not sure how thy did it but I need to replace the latch.

I have all new NOS side trim for it.

Now the fun of putting it all back together.

Factory colors like them or not are spot on..

Lookin' good!

wow, what a difference a new paint job will make looks straight as a arrow too, awesome looking great

Very very nice. I love that you're putting the side trim back on it.
