A little filler is not a bad thing. When it's a 1/4 inch thick ... well, then you know it's probably junk underneath.

As always, you're doing a good job. Happy 4th to you also.

The good thing here is theres NO filler on this bed that I didn't apply , its all new

I doubt there's a vehicle on this site that doesn't have filler in it. It's a normal and necessary.

Actually I have one it's a 77 C20 never been hit never in the snow and hardly ever in the rain. It's been kept in side since new except to haul a race car to the track once a month for the last 20 years and before that it lived in Cal. has less than 100K 454 3.21 ratio. It had a cap on it till I got it I use it to pull our 5th wheel

a bit more progress on the bed

Thanks for the Likes guys , I can't wait to get this truck done and have some fun !

They are never done.

4th time to sand and reprime because I hit bare metal. Think I'm set now to continue with the rest of the prep , 2k and finale block sanding . Getting tired of trying to make things perfect, my wife points out all the flaws and says fix it now or you'll regret it later . if I could only get her to do some sanding !

But then you'd have to bite your tongue to keep from pointing out any flaws in the paint, and pointing out that's where she sanded!

Be careful of what you ask for, you might open Pandora's Box and then never get it closed again. My wife wanted to share some time and shop space... it felt like little by little I was losing space and time for "ME"!
It took a bit of doing but we ended that arrangement!

That sounds like Great advice guys !

Your progress is looking very nice!

Well after months of not getting my fuel injection to work ( didn't ready spend much time) my truck is running great. Just waiting to go to the paint shop. Spring is just around the corner and I hope to be ready. Pic's will be coming soon.

Another problem popped up, new water pump causing pulley to be out of line. The old pump was off just bit so I let that one go but the new one is off by 3/16 (too long at the pulley mounting plate) . Mounting my A/C pump ready brought this to my attention. My power steering lines up and so does the alt. Does anybody have spec's on a short water pump for SBC. Its either the pump or the billet alu. pulley. Thinking of pressing the flange on shaft a bit, but down the road that will cause troubles on the road if the pump fails. thoughts ?
