Awww, losing the two-tone? I regret shaving all the trim off mine 10 years ago and losing the two tone...wish I could go back in time.

Kixwy2 · 02-20-2008, 01:41 PM

Great looking truck! I wish my bed looked that good...

BowTieOgre · 02-20-2008, 08:52 PM

Lets see...Chevy truck..check...original condition...check...swb...check. Heck yeah I like it! Looks like youve got a good start on a "project"

.

andresco50 · 02-21-2008, 12:37 AM

If it were mine I'd restore it back to original, blue w/ white and the original trim package and radio. I would get pictures of everything the way it is now espically the bed. I would even keep the original wheel covers and rims. Bone stock trucks like these in original condition are going to bring a pretty penny some day, and that day may be here now.

Just my .02 cents

If it was me i would replace the dash pad (lose the mat), replace or fix the bumpers, lower it 3.5/5 and put some rallys on it.

...or you could just trade me for mine.

C.W · 02-21-2008, 04:23 AM

Very nice

Wish trucks like that existed up here in Canada

X2 here, my "project" may be a throw away in comparison.

jchav62 · 02-21-2008, 12:42 AM

Wow! That's nice... Project? I hope my "project" looks that nice when I'm done with it... Congrats!

slug · 02-21-2008, 04:24 AM

I Would Recomend Leaving It Alone And Just Freshen Up The Interior And Do A Rebuild On The Engine And Get A New Front Bumper And Shoot A Fresh 2 Toned Paint Job On It.

84 400 · 02-21-2008, 08:12 AM

Looking great for a "project truck. I would leave it stock. That or keep it in stock fashion and slightly lower it and change the wheels. Eather would look good to me. Slight lower with the two tone looks slick. Then again stock is really cool too! nice to see a manual tranny for a change

Hoods69BadBowTie · 02-21-2008, 01:06 PM

Super clean looking I like it.

**texassquarebodies** · 02-21-2008, 05:56 PM

Nice truck!!!! Keep the two tone.
