Absolutely lovin it. Pretty much what is going on with my 64 short bed big window C10. Unfortunately, the truck doesn’t have a good enough patina to wear on the road. Great job guys!!!!!!
That truck is perfect. Until now, I didn’t care for “rustifications” (as I call them) but now I see it’s because the other ones weren’t executed properly. And the paint to match the weathering and rust - that is artistry. Outstanding - you all should be proud!
You can polish that single stage factory paint to a mirror shine. If you wax it enough times where there's rusted sun burned through paint it just becomes shiny bare steel and it looks really good
We rubbed it with some linseed oil to bring back a little luster, but the goal was not to make it shine. However, you're right, often times you can polish them up with the bare steel highlights showing through!
Well done. The variable exhaust is a nice touch. My Dad had a 48 Ford with a Flat head and a manual valve on the floor from Muffler when the Cops around and then back to straight. Modern wheels that are relative to the factory appearance is the perfect choice.
Great build, big advantage when you can take your ride out for lunch and not worry about door dings . It looks like that tilt you used is way too far back than any I have seen?

RESPECT!
really nice I have a 1987 Ford ranger I wish I could do that too but since I live on $700 a month Social security it's only a pipe dream I guess

You can tell what’s fake patina on the truck 🤦♂️
Sorry , just old school , those large rims and tires just take everything away from vintage look , just ruined it for me . But each to his own .
No need to apologize for what you like Dennis! Wheels are easy to change if the owner wants a more original look anytime.
