67cst · 05-27-2003, 03:50 PM

67chevemall · 05-27-2003, 03:51 PM

Was that your first time painting? I'm getting ready for my first attempt.

griesel72 · 05-27-2003, 04:03 PM

You guys will be impressed with painting. If you can paint with spray paint you can paint with a gun

*Randy70C-10* · 05-27-2003, 06:17 PM

That's not too far from the truth. As long as you can mix the paint and properly adjust the gun, shooting is the easy part.

*Randy70C-10* · 05-27-2003, 06:17 PM

Oh...BTW, truck looks great!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-27-2003, 07:47 PM

Good looking truck!!!!!!

1969 GMC · 05-27-2003, 07:49 PM

hey, nice lookin truck! trying to get the tires to match ?

:p

on a serious note, is the white top original? I am thinking about doing that if and when I get to repaint mine.

Jason71k10 · 05-27-2003, 07:53 PM

I was planning on painting mine 'vette blue, but the more I see orange, the more I like it

Does orange hide imperfections well, like a white truck would for example?

Jason

GMC71k20 · 05-27-2003, 09:38 PM

thanks everyone. the top was not originally white, the truck was originally all seafoam green. i didnt shoot it but i did all the prep work(sanding sucks) the orange hides imperfections pretty good i think. the overspray on the tires will be taken care of pretty easily

ill get some more pictures soon as its back together.

Good looking truck!

FILICE72C10 · 05-27-2003, 10:06 PM

nice color!

Class of 69 · 05-27-2003, 10:35 PM

Looks Good! Just put the painted tires on the rear, and SMOKE it off!!! Anyone ever see the Snake, and the Mongoose smoke their tires the entire length of the track? Now that smelled like heaven!! Oh, that's right, some of you don't know them!!

**Canadian694x4** · 05-27-2003, 10:47 PM

Can I have your truck? That is seriously goning to be one of the sweetest GMC 4x4's I've seen when you get it back together

GMC71k20 · 05-27-2003, 11:07 PM

thanks alot everyone. i tried resizing the first pic so it could come out better

**Canadian694x4** · 05-27-2003, 11:13 PM

do you have some older photos of when you first got your truck that I could see?

lukecp · 05-27-2003, 11:15 PM

Looks great! There is a truck in the next town over almost exactly like yours. I talked to the guy, his is a '71 GMC K1500 4x4, LWB, and has the same color scheme, and no trim. I think it is one of the best looking 4x4's i have seen. Your truck would look good with some of those allumium wheels with 8-10 2" holes spaced around the edges.

GMC71k20 · 05-27-2003, 11:31 PM

i plan on getting mickey thompsons classic 2's after i get some more money again. heres some pics of when i first got it. the funny thing is the truck was originally sold to a goat farmer in NH that was going to use it as a plow truck where it would probably end up being plowed to the ground. i told the PO i wanted to restore it so he sold it to me for half of what it was already sold for. the PO planned on restoring it but a new baby and a big block impala project kept him from.

GMC71k20 · 05-27-2003, 11:32 PM
