My truck is going Bye Bye
Well it looks as if my truck will be picked up within the next couple of weeks and taken to the body shop.

Re: My truck is going Bye Bye
Good for you 70CST. I'm sure it will make you smile many miles down the road when get it back in like new condition.
My 72 Cheyenne 4x4 that you were considering one time is going to a new home in Idaho. Now I have to get my 67 CST 4x4 finished to replace it. Mark

Re: My truck is going Bye Bye
I have had mine for 8 years, so the same feelings apply. It's now in the early stages of its re-do. Your time frame is probably right for me, too. I hope it's sooner, but.....I don't want to rush and he doesn't get in a hurry.

Re: My truck is going Bye Bye
Hi HOTFUN...I am glad that you found a good home for your 4x4. It truly is a very nice truck. Me and 70cstjr are looking forward to hitting the roads once my truck is done is done. Merry Christmas!

Re: My truck is going Bye Bye
So, what color is it going to be painted. Is the body shop close enough that you will be able to document the progress?
I hope the body shop treats you well!

The body shop is about 1-1/2 hours from my house so I will do a build progress pics album. I am going to go with the colors that came on the truck when it left the factory as it's a more rare color combo. The cab will stay medium olive green and the bottom will be dark olive. Funny-when I was much younger I "hated" those colors. Now in my old age it sort of grows on you. ![]() ![]()
