Getting serious
Hey all!
Last week I sold my 67 chevelle, and now I'm ready to jump into the truck pool head first!! So far I bought a sb 400 and th350 to replace the 250 3 speed. She goes in for body and paint in 2 weeks!! Looking for ideas for paint? So far,I like black, blue, or maybe yellow. Some advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Brett |

Sounds like you are really moving. Take a look in the pictures section, you should be able to get a good idea of what you like after looking at a few others.

If you like custom paint I prefer top one color bottom another with a stripe of some kind to break up the transion!

I agree, this is a hot thing nowadays, look at pics I posted below, the red truck is mainly one color, they used a subtle graphic to break up the color, plus I added 2 others that I really liked, one flame job, and one other. ![]()

Thanks for the ideas, I think I'm starting to lean towards a red of some sort!
Now it's time for my first stupid ?. What is the reason for converting to 5 lug from 6 lug? Brett |

plus 6 lug is usually drum brakes... and 5 lug is always disc brakes. at least on the front of the truck. discs stop alot better than drums on the front of these trucks. trust meeee.
