It was a full restoration done at home, not quite Barrett Jackson quality because I'm looking forward to driving it!

What's the orange/reddish color from? It looks killer against the white.

Well done!

Re: Finally road worthy!

Seeing trucks like yours makes me (almost) regret getting a '68, I love the two tone scheme that the later years got.

Off-topic, but I wonder if anyone has done the two tone and mouldings scheme, but kept the front end from the 67-68's. I'd be curious as to what that would look like.
