This started out as a lets try a Krylon color that I thought looked good, paint didn't go well for me at all. Bed is darker then the cab things like that so I put it away. Fast forward to the other day as I was driving I passed a spot where at 16 I saw a Flareside for sale asking price was 300 dollars. The truck was beat rusted lots of bondo paint was flat black, rusty wagon wheels. I really wanted it but my Dad said no and the truck soon was eventually gone. So I got an idea to make the truck as if I bought it and started fixing it up as a kid. Plans are to use a salting method it weather it and fix things on it like I would have done to it with my earnings from my summer job

Looking good so far Charlie.  Looks like you're going with the straight 6 out of the kit.

Yep, step sides just look better on an older truck.  Shame it has to be a rust bucket but I understand it for your nostalgic memory.

Good lucl on it Charlie.
