If you have a girlfriend that will wax the underside of the hood of your truck, MARRY HER NOW!!!

Nice truck!

I bet the sealant is part of the undercoating option he mentioned.

1rebmem, have you considered ordering a Marti Report for your truck? It would be worth it since the truck is in such original condition.

if it were me....id get her the challenger instead of the ring....possibly around the same price as the engaugement ring but will hold its vlaue for a lifetime...how many times can you fry the tires off a ring?
wish mine would prefer that..

quantumleap, you had me belly laughing when you said "how many times can you fry the tires off a ring?"


I just discovered something....... if you look at the firewall pics you will see that the sealant is behind the inner fenders. There is no sealant on the inner fenders themselves. Looks like the sealant was applied before the inner fenders were installed. I am at work right now so I will check this out later this morning.

no joke man.....nothing better than a woman who can appreciate the same things you do....escpecially a car like that! and that car can be enjoyed by all and passed down...the ring will sit in a jewelery box.....my wifes already got stolen!...wish i would have got her a challenger instead too

Wow beautiful truck!

Which wax or polisher did you use? The paint finish looks unbelievable!

I use Meguiars Gold Class carnuba wax. I've only waxed the cab so far and some of the engine compartment.
The original paint is in pretty good condition overall but up close you would see it's not perfect being 42 years old. I figure being kept inside all its life did wonders to preserve it. I have not used any electric buffers and probably won't due to being afraid to remove too much paint. Hand waxing leaves alot of red on the rags.

Your truck is in very nice condition. I like that color, is it original paint?

Thanks man! Already checked and luckily there´s a vendor over here in Germany

Yes it still has got the original paint on it, "swiss aqua and wimbledon white". But the paint on mine is totally f**ked up compared to your truck´s

I´m already excited how it will look with the wax applied

The under hood degreasing and waxing is winding down................
