RED is my favorite truck out of all yours. Just something that about it. Plus it will really look good with the LS6 all layed out on the cover of every magazine!!

Re: N2billet's "Original Five"

Well if I could order a new 68 swb I would pick red. I also know that you regret selling Lucy. It would be the red head for me.

Re: N2billet's "Original Five"

I'm probably the only one that's going to say bronze. My dad had a bronze/white 71 Cheyenne 4x4 so I'm partial to the color.

FWIW, my wife said she wants Stella Mae when I showed her the pictures of your trucks!

I agree. Build the bronze/white one. That is the best color scheme on a 67-72.

Re: N2billet's "Original Five"

Guys... I'm going to take a moment and change the direction of this thread. The trucks pictured before you are all amazing products of GM, however it's the man behind these trucks that should be the cause for discussion. Each truck that Keith touches turns heads for years and remains an inspiration to so many on the site, and anyone with access to Google images.

I have been privileged enough to meet Keith on several occassions, as well as having his assistance in the planning and preparation in my own build(s), and I feel honored to call him a friend. The talent behind the trucks Keith has created is second to none in my opinion.

Props to the man behind the metal and the guidance and inspiration he gives us all.

Thanks Keith.

Re: N2billet's "Original Five"

I assume you are building another patina truck. If so, I would go with the one that has the nicer body. Fine looking stable of trucks you have there!

I've got to build a patina truck, I've had nice painted show cars in the past and I was a nervous wreck everytime I drove them. I really like the patina because if something happens I usually don't notice or it just adds character.

Good eye... that's a great perspective for those questioning which way to go on their build.

Re: N2billet's "Original Five"

I say build Scarlet, Tiffany's color is too close to Stella. Hazel, Stella, and Scarlet sounds like the perfect line up. I'd take any of those beautys any day. Cant wait to see another build.
