Thanks Dino, I'm glad you like it, a complement from the C/10 Godfather.....you just made my day!!!

BTW- My "Chevy Only" sticker is going on this one!

Off to the painter......

Wow man, that is sweet. What about the tailgate lettering, are they going white too?
I bet Del is breaking piggy banks right now.

oldno7 · 03-18-2013, 08:59 PM

I'm just amazed you havn't put a set of buddy's in there yet

**LEEVON** · 03-18-2013, 09:30 PM

Nice find Rene. Black accents would be killer too!

The tailgate had some peel and stick louvers at one time

so the guy I got the truck from peeled them off and tried to paint the "Chevrolet" letters himself and unfortunately "Pablo Picasso" he's not

it's not very attractive, so I don't think Del will be breaking into his piggies.......yet.

I just parted with my last set of buddies 2 weeks ago.

Leevon, that same idea ran thru my mind when I removed the grill, but I'm stuck on white.

moes64gmc · 03-19-2013, 12:05 AM

, yesterday I found a decent one that runs fantastic with a 327/350 power plant, an older restored truck that has some minor rust issues but nothing too severe that I can definitely live with, I think the only thing the truck needs is some 2 toning, a white top with white inserts on the sides and the white around the grill would really set it off (the grill will probably be changed to a 63' grill later anyway

) plus a tilt from our own Kevin Hernandez to make it look like it came with it, and I'm thinking some polished slots on this one...... So in all said I give you the Pumpkin!!!!

Congrats on the find! I really like the orange as well, along with the "Pumpkin" name...I also like the idea of white accents. Hope you get to keep & enjoy this one for a little while.

hmmm...not sure I knew that bit of factory info...my truck has the white side inserts & grille surround but solid black top...I've often thought of painting the top white someday.

I think that truck is actually red, but we can pretend it's orange.

I saved pics of it a good while back myself, as it was the "poster child" for the look I was contemplating. This is the same truck without the hubcaps/trim rings:

**ChiefRocka** · 03-19-2013, 10:22 AM

Nice !!

Mario, you're part to blame for my 60-66 addiction!!! If you would have just said "NO" 1 year ago almost to the day when I asked you for a ride in your big window truck.

I'm sure you remember the day I talked your ear off.

Red or orange... it looks good.

Personally, and I'm not bashing the truck, but I like the first picture you posted of it. To me it has a killer orange tint to the color and would be my choice (vs. the red).

I agree, looks great either way. I like that first pic best as well, but more-so because of the hubcaps & trim rings.
