More truck painting progress pictures
Here are a few more shots of the truck painting as we progress. In one of the shots you can see where the tailgate hangers for a Ford Ranger were used with a little modification on the tailgate and bed mounting bolt fabrication.
I'm starting to get really excited!!!

Nice, and I like the Chevy emblem on the tailgate. Where did you get it? That would look good on my stepside. Kerry

I don't know the paint code but it's an exact match (little did I know when I picked the color) for the '03 Hummer, '04 Avalanche and '05 Corvette and other GM products made within the last couple or so years too I suspect. It's also very similar to a Honda Element color.

Glad you like it so far.
weasel29gm / 1970 CST Short Wide, The tailgate cables fit a 1994 (other years too, I'm sure) Ford Ranger and Mazda pickup. If interested, i can post pictures of the modifications done to make them fit. silvertonguedevil, I've done all of the bodywork and prep work and a buddy of mine is spraying the paint.

Truck looks very nice. Tell me, did you use a brush or a roller? Actually what eventually caught my eye, after I was done droollin & dreamin, was your gas door. What's it from & how'd you do it? I'd like to see a pick of inside the box in back of the door. I have the parts from a van,and hope to incorporate it my eventual tank relocation.
