[69C-owner]

Yes and it will stay that way :-)

[67chevy1series]

cool! gotta love a trimmed truck i love my 67 with the trim i was going to build it w/ot the trim but decided not to

[67chevy1series]

thought i would give you some inspiration

[69C-owner]

thanks for the inspiration, well with it being a v8 truck and i highly doubt someone ripped out a BB and put in the pontiac along with 350 tagged fenders id say shes a factory 350 truck and shes a factory white and brown 2tone

[69C-owner]

the colors i know for a fact lol

[67chevy1series]

the fire wall doesnt lie!

[69C-owner]

Haha true

[67chevy1series]

i figured that is what told you !

[69C-owner]

That along with the bad flat black job, i can see through the black on the roof and see the brown through scratches

[67chevy1series]

oh ya maybe you can wet sand it off and have a nice patina driver!

[67chevy1series]

heres another with newer rims on it

[69C-owner]

I like that wetsanding idea, pretty cheap huh? id like to change the look of it until i have the money to do all the rust repair body work and final paint

[67chevy1series]

ya there was a member who did that to his 71 72 4wd it came out ok

[69C-owner]

so do i just wet it down and sand it with like a 1500 grit?

[67chevy1series]

yes maybe even a 4000 or so get it nice and wet and then start sandin when you see the results you want then keep doin it exactly like that

[69C-owner]

No new pics yet but I did get the alternator (internally regulated) wired up to charge, just gotta make a little jumper to go from the number 2 tab to the post oh and does anyone know what to do with the black wire? I kno the white is supposed to be terminated cuz it has no purpose and the red goes to the post and the blue gos to tab 1

[67chevy1series]

i am not sure where that wire goes

[69C-owner]

imagine the rs stripe being two seperate stripes, both come up the fender to the center of the hood and turn into ss stripes.....thats my vision
I kinda like that wheel but im still not a 100% on what i want, is that a 338, ive seen 338 on a few trucks and like them.....lol still not sure on my wheel selection

[69C-owner]

pushin it back to the top, I need opinions guys

[69C-owner]

Ok i looked at a wiring diagram and found that the black wire is a ground

[69C-owner]

should i ground it on the alternator or on a boby panel?
