More pictures of the 67 coming home - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Eight years ago, I pulled her from a farmer's field in ND and took her completely apart. The parts were scattered all over the area for years. The cab was at a friend's shop, the frame was in the city storage area and the front clip in my garage. Today she came home sporting her fresh new paint job. Now she will sit in storage until I can afford a donor truck for an engine and tranny, not to mention the numerous other parts I need. It's OK though, it's almost Harley season here.

nice... whereabouts in this great state did you pull it out of?

HeavyD · 03-22-2006, 01:13 AM

That color looks great. I never dreamed that color would look as good as it does on that truck, because it sure didn't on Tempos. I am very impressed!

It's actually 1974 Ford truck light blue. I don't think there were Tempos then. lol

vtblazer · 03-22-2006, 07:04 AM

HeavyD · 03-22-2006, 02:14 PM

Looks Great!

Guys, here's an idea I was given by another board member when I was deciding what to do with the grill. He suggested I paint it a medium to dark metalic grey or charcoal. The school just happens to have some extra medium grey metalic that was used on the 03 Suburbans. I'm thinking of doing the grill, glove box door, dash bezel, ash tray and maybe even a set of rallies in this color for my truck. What do you think?

**Palf70Step** · 03-23-2006, 09:50 PM

Sounds like it would look pretty good.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-23-2006, 09:55 PM

Looking very nice and yes the gray would really set that blue off right..
