Re: Finally! Paint on the cab!!
Is that the Leaf Green, not the metalic olive green you used ? Did you paint it? Looks good. Post some more!

Re: Finally! Paint on the cab!!
looks great! i think all the original colors of our trucks look good when they are done up nice. you don't see that color of green near as much as the olive greens. i think that is the same color that is on seeten's 4x4.

Re: Finally! Paint on the cab!!
In the 70 truck color spectrum...wasn't the Green in 1970 shades of olive green? I think the green in 1970 was dark and medium Olive Green? I am not sure about the other years.

Re: Finally! Paint on the cab!!
That is looking nice. Very nice. Go ahead and put your first ding in it so you aren't freaking out the whole time putting back together and driving it. It really looks great. I wish I was that far along into a project again.

Re: Finally! Paint on the cab!!
My biddies dad has a 1972 GMC stepside (he bought it new) he just had repainted that color. I think he chose to have it done with metallic paint. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with the progress.
