All I have right now,when I get the truck out of the garage I will get some more.

72MARIO · 02-23-2004, 11:33 AM

What colour is the Red truck? And what tire size are you running on the back on the black truck?

I love the re truck Looks awesome.

MR. GOODWRENCH · 02-23-2004, 08:04 PM

The red truck is PPG Viper red,I will have to look in the garage for the paint Can to get the code,this may be a little better picture,it is outside when I first got it back from the body shop,I like red truck to have just a little of an orange color to it,and viper red,it has a little bit of an orange color to it,the body man thought I should paint it Porsch Guards red,but I liked this color better,looks really good when it is clean with no dust on it.

bpmcgee · 02-23-2004, 08:06 PM

Good,

I noticed what looks like aluminum roller rockers. You really putting those in a daily driver?

RICHARD MORGAN · 02-23-2004, 08:48 PM

I AGREE. VIPER RED IS SWEET ! NICE TRUCK !

MR. GOODWRENCH · 02-23-2004, 08:53 PM

Well it is not going to be driven every day,it is something for me to drive,and to have fun in,if you look at the heads you can see they have been ported and polished,and intake was port matched to the heads,I had,had these heads for a long time about 10 years so I figured I would put them on,it saved me the trouble of rebuilding the heads that were originaliy on the motor,the heads have 7/16 screw in studs,the angle plugs caused me alittle trouble with the headers,but everything seems to be fine know,I started the motor to break it in and I don't see any problems

72MARIO · 02-23-2004, 08:55 PM

I am kinda between the Viper Red and a Custom Color PPG makes that's called Hot red. I cant wait to paint my truck.

Hooter · 02-24-2004, 02:55 AM

looks like that black truck was nice before and someone abused it and let it go, I hate when that happens

chevy garage · 02-24-2004, 04:51 PM

Brad, your truck looks great. Big difference from the last time I saw it. What size wheels/tires are on it? Has a great stance. Also, those valve covers on your other post look good too.

Lucky59 · 02-25-2004, 12:57 AM

Nice trucks man, I love the 68's. I would have sooner had one than a 69' but mine was just too good to pass up.... Nice red too BTW.... "69 Impala with 50,000 miles,it was my dads" Do you have any pics of the Impala... My dad loves these cars, along with his Chevelle... If you do please post em... Sorry to hijack the thread.... hehe
