'Charlie'
 

Comming to a garage near me (as soon as I clear out a spot).

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Cool! You don't see many swb Sierra grandes. Especially BB trucks. Any clue to what cor the "special paint" was? It doesn't look like much is left!

70 Chevelle Black Cherry. I have the entire history on this one, going to be something special. It will be a slow build for a while as I'm working on a couple others also.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Yep, rare bird right there brother. I'll be watching for the build on it. What are your plans for it?

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Sweet. Since i've put the kybosh to mine, i'll be watching this closely. For something to do. lol

Re: 'Charlie'
 

That truck has some goodies!

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Nice truck Reno, Does Charlie have a build sheet also?

Re: 'Charlie'
 

charlie is gonna be one sic dude with a list like that:c2: black cherry paint:metal:

Re: 'Charlie'
 

4/6 static with front disks (like mine), stock paint scheme, add a tilt (cause we have a nice one) and maybe steelies and the factory full wheel covers.

I think I have all the pieces now including correct date coded 402, buckets, console, a/c stuff, etc. I only use the best parts I can get for these but it shows.

Going to need a set of NOS or close wheel covers ($$$$$$)

Re: 'Charlie'
 

No but I have the org title now along with the Potecto plate, spid, VIN plate and door sticker. I also have the salesman's phone number that ordered this truck new, he remembers it well. Charlie Hughes was his runnin buddy.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Love the 4/6 drop idea with the full wheel covers. That's what I'm doing with mine, really love that look.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Any updates?

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Its been a while but here is a little update.
Metal work on the cab is done and looks perfect
Fenders and hood are the nicest OEM I have ever seen
Bedsides are flawless OEM
Buckets and console are also the best unrestored set I've seen
Tilt wheel is perfect
Frame is restored with 4" drop leafs (there was NO vin stamped on it!)
Rear-end posi is restored
Engine and TH400 still need gone through but are both correct date codes

I don't have my portable hard drive with me today so I'll post up some pics next week.
This is going to be one beautiful truck!

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Sounds like you are chipping away, Brad!

Re: 'Charlie'
 

we need some current pics to look at.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Sweet... looks like there was some epic rust in that truck.

Would love to see some pics of the work. Gives me inspiration and hope for my rotted out rockers and floorboards. :)

More photos please!!!

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Reno, can't wait to see it when it's done. Your going to paint it the original Chevelle color right? That's a gorgeous color and the fact that you can document it as the original color is really cool. That's going to make it a special truck for sure!

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Along for the ride on this one. Way cool. :metal:

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Any updates on this build?

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Moving Charlie to my dad's shop to start assembly. I'll post updates as we go along.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Great truck reenokeene! Congrats and it sounds like you have a lot of correct parts for it that will add even more to it. I love the 4 eyes. Based on what you did with Rose I'm sure Charlie will be spectacular. I'll be watching. Have fun with it

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Thanks JJ. Its a slow build but we think it will be special indeed.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Special? I like special!! And, that's what Charlie (the truck) is. You've got a great one for whenever you put your hands to it.

Re: 'Charlie'
 

Cool truck, I'm subscribed for updates and pics.
