haha i love your truck now, it's my desktop wallpaper now. so many different donor trucks into one.

ratrod67 · 11-27-2005, 08:01 PM

That's pretty much what my 67 SWB looked like before 10 cans of flat black.

I bet your "throw away" California cab is better than most midwest rust-belt cabs. Were you swapping for rust,... or to add A/C?

HeavyD · 11-27-2005, 08:53 PM

I like truck with many colored panels because (usually) the off colored parts are better than the ones that came off, and that's a sign someone cares about the truck.

**Palf70Step** · 11-27-2005, 09:09 PM

MY 70 ressembled that.

Looks like everything went and lined up pretty good.

I Changed The Cab Because Of Major Rust In The Roof And Foor. The New A/c Cab Only Needs Rockers And A Drip Rail. I Changed The Vin Over From The Blue Cab.i Have Never Have A Problem With Vin Swaps. My Yellow Truck's Vin Got Lost While Beening Painted That Was 9 Yrs Ago.

3quartertime · 12-03-2005, 03:31 PM

Thanks for the pics, just what I need to do to mine.

Wish I had a nice shop to do it in. It's about 30 today. And that's about 10 degrees higher than it's been all week!!! Still not good cab changin' weather thou...

cdyblu · 12-03-2005, 03:39 PM

Looks like you had an easier time lifting your cab than I did mine, I used two pulleys attached to the garage ceiling, put a 4X4 throught the cab and attached ropes to it and hooked them to my wifes minivan. It lifted it straight up. I sure wish i had taken some pic of it!!!!

powell72 · 12-03-2005, 04:47 PM

That's impressive you ended up with that many colors. Truck looks good.

Brad · 12-03-2005, 06:51 PM

That's how mine will look for awhile once I get it back together. I'll be picking up my frame on Monday from the surgeon and have all the parts lined up to be put back on.

junkyarddog1956 · 12-03-2005, 07:53 PM

Lookin good ... Joe

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-03-2005, 08:29 PM

Dang that hoist must have made it nice and must have saved you some $$$$$ on beer..

Having A Shop Makes Doing My Project's So Much Easyer. The Only Help I Needed Was With The Hood.

Steelawork'n · 12-03-2005, 08:48 PM

Love those multi-colored Chevies. What's your plan for coloring?

krue · 12-04-2005, 01:45 AM

Love the rainbow paint scheme, my truck looks like the stepside version.
