All paint is original except rockers and inside of cab.
When I had my detailer buff it last year, he said "that's the last time we can do that. That stuff's getting thin". lol

I love the original paint and patina stuff. They only have original paint once. This old girl will never see a paint gun (except maybe in the engine bay)

Took me years to find a truck this dry and straight. Rene, I envy you guys on the west coast.

All of the above trucks are beautiful.

OH MAN! I'm glad you posted you truck with that Littrell Emblem! That is where my '68 was sold new. I have the Littrell Motor Company stamp on the Protect O Plate booklet.

That's awesome. I tried and tried to get some more info on the dealership, but they've been defunct for many years.

I did too. The only thing I found was some old ads in a Athens State College yearbook and a business profile of the company.

I think your truck is sweet! It has some great options. Its too bad someone cut it to put in a cd player. It looks cool with the bike in the bed.

TTT, just swapped out the deep rally's for the original steelies and some newer caps. The tires are a lot taller as well, they fill out the Wells perfect. Opinions on before and after. I also removed the tailgate modling, I like the painted chevrolet better and it shines nice still

well, I can't see the before (since both pics are the after, I think), but I know I like the after better. The steelies look awesome. What trim did you pull from the tailgate?? Did it have woodgrain panel? Just curious - if you did, did you have to paint the letters orange? (i.e. I always wondered if they were painted under thar....)

Truck looks really nice - jocko like!

Keep them coming, I can sit and look at these pictures all day. The dark green one IS a very nice truck, as the rest

Thanks. The tires are 255/70/15's. I believe the wheels are 15x8 but am not sure as they were on the truck when I bought it. The tires are a tad too tall for
The drop on the truck 3.5/5" ece as the fronts will scrub a tiny bit at full lock.

Yes. My plan has always been to go with Coys or something similar.
