Really liking the truck mate and top notch work!

For some reason I'm lovin these at the moment, must be the whole hotrod/ truck scene I have started to appreciate.

Keep the colour, t2d's 'tuck truck' looks sweet as is.

Thanks Mike, Im really not sure about the colour.
I thought it was the original colour, but then when I looked into it, it left the factory just primered.
Whilst working on the truck ive found a lot of red under the green.
I was thinking of getting it done in a darker green like this

Yeah its not an original VW commercial colour for a 68 as the Green for that year is Velvet Green , lovely in my opinion

Other colours are Titan Red , Neptune Blue , Pastel White and Light Grey - I think

I do like that green on yours though Krusty 8)

 

[krusty]

Its the velvet green that I really like.

I trial fitted the bed today, wanted to get all the holes in the metal drilled before I spray so there is no bare metal edges left un painted.

Wonderful proyect, in Mexico we don´t have that year single cabs, I like it.

Well finally all the locker and bits under the bed are fully panited up, they have had 2 coats of zinc primer, 2 coates of stone chip and 2 coats of colour, hopefully that should make the lot last another 40+ years.
Here's the look from the locker door

The underside of the bed panels have also had the full paint job

Going to get the fuel tank back in and connected up and fit the bed this weekend, then on with the next item on the list

Great work is being done and looking forward to the next installment
