84 SWB Silverado Build

I bought this truck from the original owner when I was 15. I drove it through HS and a little through college. It started getting rust and I didn't have the cash to fix it, so I parked it in my parents' barn for the last 8 years.

This fall I took it to Larry and the crew at Flyin Eye Kreations in Wichita, KS. They fixed the rust and gave it a new paint job. I am really happy with the way it turned out and want to share pics with you all.

Re: 84 SWB Silverado Build

The paint color almost looks like a super dark blue. Or is it black?

Re: 84 SWB Silverado Build

Hi, it looks great! I have an '84 Silverado SWB hat is Dark Blue and Silver but has the bench seat. Are those stock buckets/console, or did you add them? If so, where did you get them- very nice.

Re: 84 SWB Silverado Build

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry I'm slow to reply.

Seats and console are from a 67-72 Blazer.

It would be worth the drive from Ponca. Let me know if you come up, and I'll meet you at the shop so you can see my truck.

Re: 84 SWB Silverado Build

Thanks for all the compliments. I am jacked about the magazine feature! I think the article turned out sweet!!

The wheels are Intro Vista 20x10 and 20x8.

The single paint schemes are cool too, but I think the factory trim is a must!
