krue · 07-02-2005, 10:28 AM

I don't see a difference...
Heck man that's like night and day! Looks good!

70 shorty · 07-02-2005, 10:38 AM

What a difference a paint job makes!

SCOTI · 07-02-2005, 10:40 AM

**special-K** · 07-02-2005, 10:53 AM

On it`s way.Lookin`good.Gotta love those slots on an 8-lugger.

see ten · 07-02-2005, 10:56 AM

Was there a frame swap too? I assume so, or that is some mean painting to make it look like 3/4 ton running gear along with locking hubs on the front.

That's looking like you are well on your way to a nice one. That looked like some serious motor peeking through the hood of the 57 in the back of that one pic.

68cajun · 07-02-2005, 11:00 AM

Love the colors. It's going to look sweet when finished. can't wait till i start painting mine.

dion · 07-02-2005, 12:34 PM

Looks great so far. That's gonna be a bad ass truck for sure.

llama · 07-02-2005, 01:56 PM

yes frame swap for sure. combo of 4 different trucks and a 454 crate motor. having a little problem fitting it in but are working it out.

llama · 07-02-2005, 02:00 PM

the 57 chevy in the background, the guy has $34000 in the motor alone. built by some big name engine builder. $90000 in the car before the paint job. some people just have way too much money!

71HUGGER396 · 07-02-2005, 02:17 PM

You're truck is looking great, post the finished pics soon we hope.

69GMC910 · 07-02-2005, 02:40 PM

looks like it is gonna haul ass!!! One question, Is the truck not siiting straight? I'm asking because the body line from the cab to the box does not look to be lined up on the passenger side. I assume it is just how it's parked or something. What is the name of the green color??

Joe67 · 07-02-2005, 02:40 PM

Truck looks great

He says has $90K in that 57 and it still looks like that??? Someone's bench racing a little LOL

**Canadian694x4** · 07-02-2005, 02:52 PM

thats what i was going to ask.

paint job looks GREAT! While I'm deployed my father is going to have my truck stripped all the way down to the metal and repainted a deep dark red for me

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

llama · 07-02-2005, 08:55 PM

yep the cab has a 2" lift on it. we had to do that to clear the big block. the frame is from a camper special with heavier springs so the box sits up high. do not want to raise the box any higher. The truck is at a custom suspension shop getting a new cross member and motor mounts made. thought that would be the easiest route to take. when we get all the trim on it we will shim the box to make all lines straight. the color is the 72 stock color, i think they call it evergreen. i will call the bodyshop and get the new # for it.

bagged91 · 07-02-2005, 10:34 PM

Looks good man! I just picked up a 72' C10 Cheyenne Super in that color combo. I was wondering what one would look like redone, now I know. Here's a pic of mine. Oh, the color is listed as "Dark Olive"
