Re: My 1968 C-20 vermillion metallic...1 in a VERmillion
I really like this truck. It's cool to me that you wanted this color and figured you'd never find it. Bringing it back into good usability and drivability is actually my favorite kind of build thread. Not that I don't like full custom work and stuff, but I can relate to a build like yours. If you are interested in seeing how well you can bring back the paint, you might want to look into Meguiar's number 7. There are also a few other steps I can recommend that will bring black some clarity and shine. Not mirror gloss like new paint, but a nice luster.

A good cleaning and a little elbow grease will make that thing pop! Really like your direction on this one. Love to see the survivors on the road in all conditions.

I wonder if that seat or seat over is original??? From what I've read here (someone correct me if needed...) That seat cover generally came with the Custom Sport Truck option package. The original seat should have been ALL one color??? I had NEVER seen that fancy Custom cover (original) in ANY pickup, EVER...Way Cool!!! |

Re: My 1968 C-20 vermillion metallic...1 in a VERmillion
I too love the Vermilion. Mine is one year older and the paint looked a lot like yours when I got it. It was a bare bones farm truck that I added the OE options to bring it up to the CST level

Thanks for all the kind words!! Here is the vinyl and fabric I picked out for the seat. Not factory correct but it will work and it’s a little HotRod style. I like the fabric has a maroon smear in it.

Re: My 1968 C-20 vermillion metallic...1 in a VERmillion
Canuck,
What steering wheel is that you added? I like that one. I still have the stock one like in your one interior photo but have been looking at other options.

Time to fix pass front fender. Previous owner replaced Original fender with a a 69-72 after he ran into his fence post. I picked up a 68 fender from a buddy. Cleaned it up and black primered it like stock.

Installed the rear trim on the bed that was missing. I found it in the truck after I bought it. I bought some new trim clips at a local paint shop.
