As I'm putting the newly painted bed back on my 74, for whatever reason as I look up it hits me, Starbursts candy!

The 74 is 529 Sunset Gold but I picked the House of color tangelo pearl for the 75.

Thought I would share. Sorry for the phone pics

That is pretty close to Starburst orange.

Other one looks more like a banana Now & Later.

Hahaha, Baby puke yellow is what my buddy calls the 74. And it does kinda look like it to.

And the 75 has a gold hue to it in the sun. I cant remember when the last time ive seen it in the sun. 2010?

Thanks. That's appreciated. The orange 75 is the first truck/vehicle I ever bought. The 74 is a summer daily driver which I need swap the Saginaw for an overdrive. I've been looking for a A833

Re: Man my trucks look like two pieces of starburts candy
 
I like em both but the orange one if my favorite but Im very biased as I have a 72 Flame Orange El Camino and my 72 truck is going to be Medium Red which looks more orange to me . I would like to see more pics of them both .

You could go with pink and white, and have the "Good & Plenty" trucks.

Ummm, nevermind. (Not that there's anything wrong with that"

Thanks. A couple more. I've thought about starting a build thread for the 75. The "any updates" messages would help kick me into gear.

The 74 in the pics are how I bought it. Running and driving for $680.00. Almost all original

75 is how we did the back window. Kinda funky. Almost wish I hadn't.

Thanks. This is the same. Super plain jane 3 on the tree, radio delete and a 250. Except the po moved the shifter to the floor. That's the only major non-original part on the truck. I really like the 250 and the 3.73.

Mines orange front half n black back half. My painter still isn't sure how to get the bedliner off the outside of the bed.

Do a build thread! Your 75 is litteraly looking like what I have planned with my 75! A build thread would benefit myself and 2 other people I know off for sure! Looking forward to a finished product picture!!

How do you get it off? Grinding?

Is the whole bed covered? Is it a super solid bed or can you find other?

I think I will. It would be a SLOW build, that's for sure. All due to cash flow. The 468 still needs parts(expensive parts). But I do love talking trucks

Re: Man my trucks look like two pieces of starburts candy
 
It's inside and out. Haven't tried yet as painting is a long way away but i'm probably going to try n find some different bed sides so i can get dual tank doors for future upgrade.

That's a nice color. What is it? I also like the "wiked" license plate.
