Yankton, Please Comply

I've strengthened & reinforced, I've hammered, sawed and bolted. I've painted, washed and waxed. Even just now washed the silly frame and fuel tanks. Darnit! I'm done with my end of the preliminary preparations.

I need that silly tarp!

Please forward said tarp forthwith with the utmost of haste. I'm sick of foolin' with this old truck! :>(

At least the back half is Farmall red and a part of the cab is Farmall white.

 

[Allan in NE]

Gotta tell ya.

I'm flat out sick of red. Darned old box soaked up 4 gallons of the stuff!

Leastwise, tomorrow I can paint on some polyurethane on that new floor. :>(

Nice job, Allan. How did you fix the tailgate? I was going to suggest 3/4 plywood.

Allen, the last time I saw that much bright red paint was in that Clint Eastwood spaghetti western where he had the whole town painted red! But I gotta admit it sure makes things look cleaner and newer.

Say, if you have trouble keeping a finish on your floor I have a suggestion. I put two coats on my box floor and after the second load of wheat it was gone and it had dried over the winter. I painted my floor with a mixture of half and half deisel fuel and used oil. After the fiest load the oily finish is gone and you have a floor that will last quite a while and it don't cost a fortune either.

if you are tired of red, why not go for some green and yellow?

nice looking truck.

Neighbor up the road is running some 2X6s thru his planner and table saw to make the original 1" tongue and groove material. :>)

Allan, you time and trouble shows. It is a great looking grain truck. I like the colors just like they are.

 

[Allan in NE]

Thanks George,

When I get that white roll over bolted on it, should set it off just right.

Still gotta get the mud flaps on it (state law here), but that's for a rainy day. Think we're schedualed for rain in 2009. :>)

Sounds like a plan to me. 4 gallons of paint,ouch, hope the tailgate dosen't take too much more.
