Wanted to post a picture of the truck. Original 90k on the 307 speed. Rockers are toast, and need a tail gate. Excited to get to work, plans are to leave paint as is get it running as it was in a barn for 20 yrs. Luckily the previous owner drained the gas before putting it up. I am sure I will have a lot of questions as I get into it.

Flashed that would be great! I have a question on the color someone could possibly answer, the info sticker states 514 Light Red, but the color looks more orange than red. When I look at the old PPG charts it shows 514 "Red", but does not list a "Light Red"

That would be the correct color for 514 Light Red. That is what my original '70 is.

My 72 GMC is Medium Red 514. I've also seen it referred to as red/orange.
