The 100-Day Getaway Truck

Well, I picked up a truck a couple weeks ago, as oulined in this post:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=193538

I am also getting married on 24 June this year. I have a personal goal of getting that truck in shape to use as the getaway vehicle from the ceremony. My fiancee' supports this plan fully.

I am going to update this thread occasionally with my progress.

As of now I have 92 days left (we leave for San Diego on 22 June). The truck is totally stripped and the frame is at the powdercoat shop (dropped off yesterday). The TBI 454 is still in Oregon, and I still need a TH400. I did locate a Blazer fuel tank for $32 yesterday. I am replacing the wheel bearings in the front axle tonight - the rear has all new bearings and a new disc brake setup, but is at the same shop as the frame being blasted (gonna POR-15 it).

Final paint color suggestions (single color)? Original was actually red, but has faded to orange.
