Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
I may be biased, but that color looks great! In that picture, it looks a lot like the medium gold. Only it seems to "pop" a little more.(hard to describe) I can't wait to see it all together. Between the paint, and those Racelines, I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorites. Are you still planning on the dark Mahogany floor?

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Thanks fellas --
Yes, I have the floor boards cut already but they're not stained yet. I'll be going for a darker stain color, maybe a Cherry / Mahogany mix and about 4 Gloss SPAR coats. Anyone know of any bumpers for sale? Just good straight ones I could have re-chromed, maybe the place in Nashville (dont recall the name off the top of my head) Posi, Bumpers / Brackets, a few more CST emblems, eyebrow trim pieces, hood letters, and interior stuff this one will be finished. I hope to be driving it in the spring but well see. ..

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Paint is looking GREAT!
Is it Advanced Plating your thinking of?

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
More pics .. The bed should be in color today.
 2001 Corvette - Speedway white. It's not a blinding pure white, just a touch of a vanilla like color to it. Pretty sharp with the gold.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
I haven't seen the truck for a couple weeks actually. Dad has been going by the shop taking pics, it's just a few miles from his house. I cant wait to see it. Dad said the inside of the cab is sanded and ready to begin sealer / base. It's getting exciting for sure !

So I'm reading that your 68 is not an original 68 Golden. It's a cool pickup to imitate. I'm not making much headway on mine, but small steps at least. There's a thread on the other side of this 67-72 section that ai found recently, it's already 2-3 pages back because of so much activity on this web site. Golden is in title. I hope to make some posts (and hopefully pictures) soon. Keep On! Jeff |

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Naa, man I wish it was a real Annie. It's a 69 cab, 68 clip. I'll have an air dash out of a 72 Cheyenne, 70-71 CST door panels, 69-70 CST bucket seats, 67-68 CST trim, 71-72 tail light and bed trim, 84 Silverado front Kmember, 69 Camaro 396, Walnut comfort grip steering wheel with tilt, lol. It's a mix of all the things I like about these trucks, most of it is not 'correct' for a 68 CST but I'm just pulling all the stuff together into one semi-custom truck. 68 Annie, saddle int. In no way representing it as an Anniversary I just love the color combination.
