Finally got the trailer out of the paint booth. Went and got some matching wheels, and we're headin out.

72BlckButy · 03-21-2009, 08:51 PM

That is awesome!!!!

Definitely money well spent.

Sinister · 03-21-2009, 09:04 PM

That's rad.

arkie726 · 03-21-2009, 09:19 PM

Man you need a big chevy emblem on the front of the trailer! Looks GREAT!

thirdstreettito · 03-21-2009, 10:26 PM

Looks really good!

big_al_71 · 03-21-2009, 10:31 PM

That is what I call a great set up, awesome!!!!

Camper Power · 03-22-2009, 12:00 AM

looks like they were made for each other

**70cst** · 03-22-2009, 12:01 AM

impressive!!

sleepertruck72 · 03-22-2009, 01:32 AM

That deserves an award !!!

QKENUF4U · 03-22-2009, 04:13 AM

Thats tight !!

OARNGESI · 03-22-2009, 05:42 AM

Nice combo

Andy4639 · 03-22-2009, 07:20 AM

Cool combo you have I like!

That's not something you're gonna see everyday! It's refreshing to see one that looks that nice still being worked. Some people don't understand that "working" a truck doesn't mean "abusing" a truck. There's another member here with a 4x4 painted to match his boat. I never understood his choice of graphics on the pickup until I saw the boat behind it and then it made sense and came together. Your stripes you added to the camper are pretty sweet.

Andy4639 · 03-22-2009, 08:45 AM

Did you think about the wood grain to match too!

bigguy69 · 03-22-2009, 09:33 AM

that is awsome!!!

usdabeef · 03-22-2009, 10:32 AM

I need some ideas on how to finish it off. Some mentioned wood grain. I was thinking of some chrome molding. Any ideas guys. It still looks unfinished.. Thanks in advance

Big-Blue · 03-22-2009, 10:41 AM

Great idea!

How much lift and what size tires are you running? The look is perfect!

**LEEVON** · 03-22-2009, 10:59 AM

That's sweet. Small black striping on the edges of the red would finish it off.

usdabeef · 03-22-2009, 12:18 PM

BIG BLU- to answer your question, I have a 3" body lift w/4" susp lift. 35's

mr48chev · 03-22-2009, 12:29 PM

That's quite the setup. I have some friends who would go nuts over the whole rig. Their favorite camping area is only accessible by 4x4 or dirt bike.

Jerry Jones · 03-22-2009, 12:35 PM

That looks fantastic, I made the mistake of showing my wife.

68gmcdually · 03-23-2009, 10:57 AM

I have a '76 Citation that I tow behind my '68, I have been toying with the idea of restoring the trailer to match the truck and I think that I made up my mind with seeing your truck, that is impressive.

69chevybmx · 03-23-2009, 11:05 AM

If you could locate some matching trim to piece together that would be really cool. It needs a little bowtie on the front.

Dads 68 GMC · 03-23-2009, 11:07 AM

I like it, there will be a lot of heads being turned, GOOD JOB!

usdabeef · 03-23-2009, 09:30 PM

Thanks guys for all the positive comments. I wasnt sure how it would turn out when started the project, but i like it. Now just to find something to make the trim happen. I will post more pics when that gets done.
