Did you say Mexican :dig:?? That's to funny. That would be a cool show with a couple of guys hunting down these old trucks.

With dog dish the wheels would need painted,unless you had skanked out 8"ers off a 4wd. Painted Medium Olive would look good. I just think the wheels need patina,too. No doubt,any of your choices will look great (and it's none of my business if someone wants to go out and put wheels & tires on their truck to make it look like their truck needs a paint job and all new trim so their truck will match the wheels :lol:)

I like the faded medium olive stock rim idea with the dog dish, black or white wall? I might consider that, thanks Tim

That 70 has the same hooks on the bed sides as that 65 I just got. Ya they are practical but geez what a ton of holes.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb

Your new addition looks great with the rallies. Couple of questions about this ride.
How is the rust or lack of? It looks like the rockers aren't even rusted.
How is the market for solid trucks like this in Cali? I know you know where all of them are obviously. Trucks like this are impossible to find around here. I would love to have an original "patina" ride like this. And yes a 69 or 70 model.....They can't possibly cost as much as a frame off build. Plus you get to drive them as soon as safe to hit the road.

The market is great for factory painted trucks and the stocker the better!!! Patina is easy maintenance just wipe the chrome clean the windows, white walls and cruise. :lol:

Thanks Rene. I hope you don't find any suprises. How dang many of these sweet trucks do you have?
Crap! Hope you don't run out garage space:)
You can send that green truck as is to me if you don't have room.

Okay cleaned the interior, and discover that we we have one little rust issue :( but nothing major, front bumper cleaned nice, took off license plates for the wife to repaint, looks like I need visit Uncle Kevin (Kev's Classic's) for a tilt/tach. combo, and maybe some new seats would be nice. Fun, fun, fun.

I think I know why you like that view :lol:, I used those seats in another build a couple of years ago, but I'll find some more, when I bought the truck the owner gave me a van tilt and a used tach. Kevin will bring them back to life, I still can't believe how well this truck runs. ;)
