Nice looking truck. I like your color choice. I prefer the loaded up 79/80 Silverado's, but that's just my opinion.
Don't forget to show it off when it's done.

Great looking truck ! where did you get the "blank" tailgate panel ?

Johnny Merder 08-01-2011 11:35 AM

Re: New to this forum here's my truck
 
SS Delux the blank tailgate panel came right from GM, they dont come with the letters on them.

80StreetCoupe what do you mean by 79/80 loaded up silverado's? I hope you done mean square headlights....

was this the factory color combo?? and did it have the oyster white int? combo??? ;-)

Johnny Merder 08-01-2011 04:27 PM

Re: New to this forum here's my truck
 
It was painted gray from new, it did have that oyster white interior though. This isn't a foactory color combo, I wanted things like they would have if been if I ordered this truck new. It's a little of a wierd deal; silverado with 400 and TH350 2:76 posi factory tach, A/C cruse delay wipers but no power window or locks.

Re: New to this forum here's my truck
 
Sorry I can't spell factory today.

Re: New to this forum here's my truck
 
I had one somewhat like this it was a 77 swb 4x4 silver and white two tone.. it had a weird blue int combo with the lowback buckets seats factory tach, windows locks delays with tilt and cruise.. duel tanks ect.. it was a 400 small blk, rare truck.. I have seen black and silver combo, on the 79-80 with the white int. combo good choice of colors and powertrain combo.. good luck!!!

Hello
looks like a nice clean truck

Re: New to this forum here's my truck
 
Johnny, All I meant was that I prefer the 1979, 1980 Chevy Silverados, GMC Sierra Grande/Sierra Classic, fully loaded two-toned paint, stock looking vintage square bodied trucks. That was just my opinion though. I love the look of your truck with fresh paint on it. Just like new!! Is your 4x4 a 1979 or 1980?

Johnny Merder 08-02-2011 07:04 AM

Re: New to this forum here's my truck
 
It is a 1979, no big deal I thought was missing something.
