Unearthed my new toy from the grave.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HeavyD · 04-30-2006, 01:04 AM

Just thought I would show a couple pics of my new toy. Been sitting since the early 80's and was kind of a pain to get it on trailer, but the unique color will make it worth putting time into I think. Thanks to Shane (HevyChevy67) for giving me a great deal and breaking his back putting it on the trailer..lol

*MisterMan* · 04-30-2006, 03:10 AM

over all condition??? common!! i want the details!!!

**special-K** · 04-30-2006, 08:14 AM

Cool color these days.People thought was an ugly color for about 30 years,lol.What goes around,comes around.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-30-2006, 10:40 AM

Is that a factory color looks like skittle green..

*Billla* · 04-30-2006, 12:55 PM

Great save, dude! Looks like she was sitting knee deep in the mud. The color is very cool - let's hear the plans!

Swbman · 04-30-2006, 03:49 PM

I thought Ive seen every color combo these things come but yours is definitely a first for me in that shaded of green. Looks like you got yourself a soild foundation to start with.....

wakeboarddrumma · 04-30-2006, 04:35 PM

Looks real good. My truck had been sitting 18 years, and then it got restored in the 80's I believe. It looks great now. You got a jewel. How's the inside?

HeavyD · 04-30-2006, 06:56 PM

I had one 10 years ago and people really hated the color, just like Special-K said. Now when we stopped for gas I had all kinds of compliments on it. The interior is black and had lots of mice droppings in it, so I took the wand at the car wash to it and the droppings are no more. Will need a seat redo but the rest of it looks pretty good, and is all there including the steering column. No motor or trans but I just bought another truck with a good 350 to use. Suspension shot, no brakes, needs cab corners, rockers, and tailgate for sure. Color is factory, and will be repainted the same shade. Plans so far are for a 2-4 drop, tilt, tach, shoulder belts, tinted glass, bright trim around windows, vortec headed 350, either th350 or 700 (not sure which yet), chrome bumpers, aluminum slots, and possibly factory buckets/console. Most of this stuff I already own so it's just a matter of getting to work. Thanks for the interest.

Dalton, i would make you a sweet deal on some aluminum slots for that truck!!! Nice score...

matthufham · 04-30-2006, 10:45 PM

man, good luck on the rust repair.

HeavyD · 05-01-2006, 12:30 AM

Yeah, it needs alot of repair. Friend that helped pick up the thing is a welder with bodyshop experience but fell on his melon and is still banned from welding until he recovers 100%. If he is allowed to weld again, I am in business..if not, I am going to be broke forever.

67_C-30 · 05-01-2006, 12:39 AM

Cool Color! What is that name of it?

HeavyD · 05-01-2006, 02:05 AM

It just says "4001YC special paint" on the glovebox door.

krue · 05-01-2006, 02:33 AM

Never seen one that color, but I like it.

Can't wait to see it finished.
