I don't think he'd be too upset as long as you gave him a good deal on this grille :cool:

Hey,did you swap the fancy peddles in there? If you do olive buckets and they need covered,how about Custom Deluxe cloth inserts? (I love spending your money)

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

Damn that truck cleaned up really well..

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

Oh yeah, that rear bumper is coming off real soon.

Don't worry Tim I have no problem spending money myself, I have a lead on some "broke back buddy seats" I'm glad you noticed the peddles.


So far so good, once the plates are done and the back bumper comes off, it's really going to rock!:chevy:

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

Are you going to lay this one out or static drop??

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

Plates are ready!;)

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

Those turned out great. Sweet truck, But Gumby is almost my favorite truck on this site.

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

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

Are you guys getting tired of up dates? Oh well here's a couple more. :chevy: Boy, I love factory tinted glass!

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

That truck looks better already with junk in the bed.

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

I didn't know the dump was closed on Holidays, so I'll try throw that junk away on Monday. :lol:

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

Keep those updates coming!
I don't need another truck,... but this one would go good with my blazer.

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

Remember Keith you're first in line. ;)

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

Thanks,... but I can't afford any more vehicles.
Just watching your "magic" unfold,...

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

The dump in Lodi is open tomorrow...at my house. :lol:

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

That is great lookin truck Rene. I love that color combo its the close twin to may 69.

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

Is there a better color for generating patina than light olive?

if thats dump then my truck has missed a couple appointments!!:lol:

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

I'll store it for him... :rolleyes:

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

Yeah, all I need is the white on the bottom.

I can't think of anything else.

You can't beat the look!:metal:

Nate, what a nice jester. :jest:

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

I really like the re-painted plates! Dumb question, but is it illegal to repaint newer CA plates in black and yellow? (I know yours started as black/yellow) but am just curious. Can't imagine why CA would care, it'd still be the correct numbers and letters, etc and would have current tags (if I did that).... Hmmmmmmmmmm

Love this new truck by the way, can't wait to see how it develops. Quite jealous of your buddy bucket stash, by the way.

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

Thanks, I just removed the Bardon bumper and what a big improvement, technically you're not suppose to touch your license plates at all, but I've never been one to follow the rules. ;) Wish I still had that stash of seats, I could use one right now.:lol:

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

technicalities, schmechnicalities.... (but I know I'd be the first person in history to be busted for it, I just know it!)

I thought you had a stash of buckets to choose from, but it would appear you've had plenty of opportunities to use them before! Ha! No wonder I can't find a 72 short wide.... :lol:

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

Pics with the new bumper??? Chrome sport I know, the only other option is a painted sport. :metal:

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

Sorry, no bumper brackets till Wednesday, so I have to wait.

Jocko you might want or not want to see this. :lol:.....there's no shame in my game.;)

[QUOTE=C/10 King;5097430]Sorry, no brackets till Wednesday, so I have to wait. QUOTE]

That is so funny you say that.. I just painted my brackets yesterday. I should have the bumper by Wednesday. :lol:

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

I LOVE IT!! Inspiration.... Thanks! (I totally forgot about the raised letter CA on the old ones)

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

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

Ok, I'll be a monkey's uncle - what exactly is the difference between factory tint and an aftermarket windshield one might buy? (I'm just learnin all kinds of stuff from this thread....)

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

The original glass is clear, the factory tint has a greenish color to it. Here some pics of factory tinted glass...also called soft ray.

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

love the plate idea, love the truck, keep the updates coming!!

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

Diggin the license plate!

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

thanks shawno - so I'm a LITTLE confused (sorry)

I thought ALL factory glass was "tinted" green. Are you saying that you could get non-green clear glass OR could order factory tinted soft-ray? (if so, then I am no longer confused).

Thank you.
