what shade of blue did you use there? blue is a consideration for me when i go to get the truck painted (sometime in 2020 most likely lol). lookin for a shade that looks nice but isnt to high maintenance.

If your buddy can get 9.5 tt2's new for 200.00 thats a deal > think Summitt is like 245.00 per wheel now . Ijust sold 2 9.5 rims for a lot less than 200.00 each . IF THEY ARE USED , Ithink 200.00 is too much .

Yours is looking as sharp as usual Boat & YOURS HAVE ROUND HEADLIGHTS .

yOU KNOW i THINK THE 81-87'S ARE THE TRUE SQUARE BODYS with the rectangular headlights & rectangular grills etc. . Ithink the 73-79's should be in a different classification with the more rounded front clip & side molding etc. Just a thought.

Re: 2 tone paint!

I just noticed that almost every truck I own or have owned recently is a solid color. Three solid blue 77's , one solid Yellow 76 , and one solid black 78 right now . The Buckskin 78 was solid also . The only two toned square I have owned in the last 10 plus years is the 73 Cheyenne Super I had . I will post a pic of it since I have them . All factory paint in original GM colors for 73.

Re: 2 tone paint!

And that other is a C10, mine is a K20. It's not a color combo you see very often, I have seen 1 in person and 2 or 3 others on the internet.
