I finally got her washed and waxed today - cleans up pretty good for a work truck. Also a shot of the interior that I completely redid. The console I built myself...

Looks good. What color is that? It almost looks like a butter scotch color...

Now that everyone is posting new pics of their trucks mean that I have to get off my duff and detail the truck again so I can take some new ones...

No Way! Good to "see" you again! How's your burb coming?

I love the truck. I put a crate motor in it recently, and I can pretty much rip the tires off at a atop light now. :lol: I'm still wanting to get rid of a bunch of the smog stuff on it and put in a new exhaust, but that can wait for a bit. It's great - very solid on the road.

@Palf70Step: The seats are some racing style seats I got online (Jegs? Can't remember...) and they are great. Very comfortable. Very little modifications to the seat bracket - a 3" side extension and a couple of extra holes drilled. The console I made from 3/4in ply, and has two main compartments. The lid can be used as a jump seat in a pinch.

Nice work! Getting rid of the smog stuff is relatively easy, but you live in Cali. Don't you guys HAVE to keep it on?

Perfect!!! That was exactly what I was looking for thank you. It’s pretty close to the shade I want too. I hope to paint mine within the next year or so but I have some house projects to finish first. What shade is that if you don’t mind me asking.







1975 is the oldest car you have to smog in CA.

are those door panels stock?

Thanks for the nice comments! It's turning out to be a really great truck. As far as the color, the closest I can come up with is something like Sunny Yellow, or School Bus Yellow, depending on the guide I look at.

The thing is, it changes color depending on the angle you look at it so there may be some undercoat I don't know about. (I didn't paint it.)

I think so? It's a GMC Custom and it didn't have a lot of the options, but the sticker is gone from the glove box, so it's hard to tell. Dropped90Burb had it before me, and he got it from someone else. I think it's been modified a bit. :lol:
