Beautiful! First I've seen of another truck with the same paint scheme as mine. Right on, partner - she's a beaut.

Barbecue · 11-02-2015, 07:59 PM

Look familiar?

What rear end is in yours, I'm curious. Also, tranny?

jcblue · 11-02-2015, 09:20 PM

It's a 308 I believe with a 350c I believe is what it's called

jcblue · 11-02-2015, 09:24 PM

I would like to see the interior of your truck barbecue .. Mine says the interior is charcoal but it seems to have a blueish tint to it.. Not sure if it's faded some or because it's a different shade of charcoal from the painted surface

Yes, mine is a slate-ish blue interior as well: all carpet, door panels, bench seat, and dash. The previous owner had kept a seat cover on the bench for years which has protected the original upholstery. Apologies, but I wasn't able to get a picture last night - I've got the truck off the road in my folks' shop for a couple of months while I do my exhaust, intake, re-seal windshield, etc. I'll get you a pic asap. If you're able to post a picture of yours, I'm sure I'd be confident in confirming that it is the same.

jcblue · 11-07-2015, 11:47 AM

Dash

Barbecue · 11-07-2015, 12:21 PM

Wow. Your interior is identical to mine other than the fact mine is a Silverado so the dash badge is different. Yours looks to be in great shape! Nice.

jcblue · 11-07-2015, 03:35 PM

Thanks.. It needs some cleaning up and a dash pad and seat cover but is in pretty good shape.. I know you have to dye a new dash pad but can you get a seat cover that color?

91short · 11-07-2015, 03:41 PM

Man, you scored a nice truck! I would take a nice one of these over a new truck. Is that original, or has it been re-painted?

jcblue · 11-07-2015, 03:55 PM

From what I can tell it has had one repaint.. Has the original stripe and has been taped up.. It's a great driver..

jcblue · 11-07-2015, 03:59 PM

O. And I redid the body moulding.. It looked pretty rough

Zach079xxx · 11-07-2015, 04:24 PM

You have a beautiful truck. I love that color. JEALOUS

tucsonjwt · 11-07-2015, 05:39 PM

You should get some respectable mpg with that setup. A truck like that will increase in value over time if you keep it in good original condition. Short beds are very popular now.

Short beds have been very popular ever since I can remember. Anyway, that is one nice truck you have there. Love the color. Another Kentucky guy. Have fun with your truck.
