in progress of repair - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jcentsr6 · 08-03-2008, 09:01 PM

Here are some in progress pics to repair fender and hood damage. I am having my paint guys at work tackle this project. (sweet deal) I decided not to paint the whole truck based off of everyones feedback on here about liking the color scheme and all....so thank you. I am in the process of trying to match the color..I will post more pics when completed.

be sure to block out those hard primer lines on the fenders or they will show back up, you should really back tape so you don't get a hard line like that. not being a jerk, just want you to get a good end result.

Thanks for the info...I dont know alot about body stuff so I have to trust the paint guys.

I see you have headers on the BB what make are they? I am going BB with a ride hight about the same as yours and was thinking of getting some headers instead of running the cast manifolds.

Hooker super comp ceramic coated long tube. They are close to the ground at full dump...but do not hit. I think they are just right.

Not only a great looking truck with a perfect stance, but hands down, one of the best looking longbeds around.

Hope the repairs turns out well.

Thank you so much. For someone to say that makes me me feel like I am woking in the right direction with this truck. (I know it mine and do what I want with it...but I like others to enjoy it as well)

Means alot coming from someone with such a badass truck as yours.

Its hard to get anyone to like the LWB trucks

around these days.

gangforward · 08-05-2008, 06:08 PM

Love the stance and the color! Good luck with the repair.

Longhorn Man · 08-05-2008, 08:37 PM

I have to agree, I've never said it, but that is possibly the coolest long bed I've seen.
