The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i am gona try to keep it stock with all gm parts and i am going with camaro yellow and white or a cream color in the center. but i wished i would left the truck like it was with the 400 sbc turbo 400 and just kept driving it. i miss driving it around its been 2 years since i took it apart. its sitting at a body shop now waiting on paint its been there for 3 months now.its gona cost $7500 to paint it.

What is Camaro yellow? If you put new trim on there, make sure to paint the stripe yellow like you've got. That's 1977 only!

1982 3+3 2WD 4 Speed manual trans.
When we bought the truck it had a salvage yard 350.
We installed a 468 and use it to pull a 24' enclosed trailer for our race car and general duty stuff when needed.

amberkalvin, that's a repaint right? Or were you able to bring the paint back to life? It looks fantastic.

I did not repaint the truck. Instead I spent about 6 Hours with a $6 bottle of turtle buffing compound and a nice buffer....

This vehicle was repainted. I don't know how long ago though. Just glad that I could make it shine again.

Crew cab duallys are awesome. 4x4 ones are more awesome. Camo is awesome. CUCV's are awesome...CUCV grille guards are awesome. That truck looks like **** to me. Camo with polished wheels, stainless mirrors, chrome handles, chrome grille trim, marker trim, drip rails...looks awful. That CUCV grille guard with the 90/91 V-series grille looks out of place as well.
