Can you believe I dont know. My dad knows some guys at a local shop and they pics the original color, I believe the paint code is 546. I will find out and let you guys know. From what my dad says it just like the day he bought it.

Truck seems to be coming together nicely :cool:

Is this the truck with the white paint on the grille too?

i wish i had a roll down rear window. Mines not, but that would be sweet.. I used to have a slit window but that was a paint and easy to break into. The new window with the deluxe chrome is pretty nice.

not a white grill..

ahhhh. the glare on the first pic looks like i have a roll down window. very deceptive..

Oh yeah, I was thinking if an orange/white 67/8 I saw posted here right out of paint.

Nice truck, I am going orange on my 67 once the time comes :cool:

Looks Good,Nice job....

Beautiful truck, thank your Dad for all his help!

Amazing!!!! Love that colour....

Very nice job. If only mine...well, many of us know:D

Extremely nice! Those door panels look good.

Very nice!!! I've always liked these trucks in orange.
If I change the color of mine, it will probably be changed to orange.
Keep us posted on the progress.

Can't get enough orange. I'm painting all my vehicles orange. I'm also putting together an online parts website and I could use some nice pictures of a finished truck to feature throughout the design. Let me know if I could use your truck. Here's my logo - you can see your trucks color is perfect.

sure thing. I will take some better pics next weekend and you can gladly feature my truck. Thanks for the compliment!

That is a beautiful truck. :)

Nice job, any plans for striping?

i think we are going to try something like the original. Nothing to crazy. This picture is before the new paint. My dad kept this truck in pretty good condition.

Damn
 

that is a bad a$$ orange great job....

The door edge gaurds are a factory option but i am not sure if I am going to install new ones. Any recomendations? Just trying to keep the options sheet "real".

WOW - Outstanding. Orange looks great on these trucks. Come to think of it most colors (even ochre) looks great on these trucks.

Nice Paint Job.

Recreate the factory strip IMO. That would really dress it up. (Mine has it too!)

looks real nice to me!! good luck wiht it

Now that roll down window thing has got me thinking, I wonder if thats possible, wouldn't that be trick, you and your dad got a beautiful truck there, I'm sure you'll see a trophy or two, and yes I love that orange, nice eye candy

That truck is simply gorgeous.

thanks for all the compliments!

stock options
 

Is that a stock cheyenne model truck without either of the side trims frothe facto (as I read option sticker)? I had always believed that cheyennes had the woodgrain lower trim with upper trim as option and this was mentioned on option sheet. Maybe this truck had them and holes were filled. Just trying to keep up on ways these trucks came from GM!! Does the rear also have leaf springs? I have a theory about chevys that when it was ordered from factory with wood bedfloor they had rear leafs?

This truck did come with lower molding (no upper, just the pen striping). I had the holes filed and If i decide to put them back on I will use come aheasive istead of the screws. I have an entire set of new moldings. I cant decide If I want them back on or not. As for the rear... I have coils.

Stunning! I love the color and the truck is very clean.


As a side note, does anyone know if orange shows imperfections real well. Is it more like black or more like white? Don't want anyone to notice the door dings that we sometimes get or the minor flaws in the body work.


That truck is definitely a head turner.
