I don't know for sure if it is GM Champagne and Nissan greeny gold?

Here are the original truck pics again and one of a Nissan and a couple from my compuer pics that might be close?

Help on this please!! It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out.

I like the pinstripe on that red one. It mimics the 73-80 chrome.

Here is my 78 Chevy Scottsdale I bought 1 week ago, already hauled 2 loads of firewood, one of my classic motorcycles, and a cab with a rust free floor/mounts which I'll graft into this cab-

in the last 3 days ive been offered some pretty health sums for mine, not whats been put into it, but pretty darn close.

next project is to get one piece side wondows and the poppers put in. its had 4" chopped out of the cab. going to go with 1 piece windows to eliminate the wing vents.

was hoping pinks would come back around before long......LOL.....

I stopped by it a few times. Always a crowd around it. I finally caught it the second day a snapped a few pics. It had a lot of nice work done to it. I go to that show every year. Met a few board members there this year.

My first post

My wife's new truck (1984)

If anyone recognizes this truck, I am looking for paint codes so that I can paint the tonneau cover.

thenewminator 03-23-2013 01:49 AM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
correction:in the last pic i had flipped them and even tho the clips were broke i was hopin that the plastic deals that hold the ends to the top and bottom pieces would keep them in place but found out otherwise when i saw one side hangin off by the time i made it to the local landfill
