Great looking truck orange, especially with the cragers, one to be proud of. Orange is my color too, I have a orange 72 short step.

Eye catching, Classic, Neat, and surely a show winner and cruise night head turner.

Love the dual eyes of the GMC.

I guess the horse isn't into trucks.

By the way what is the width of your wheels?

JAKES 68GMC · 04-18-2007, 09:34 PM

Your truck looks great. I like the color, along with the big tires and Cragars. How about a few shots of whats under the hood.

I'll try to give you a side by side "paint chip" like comparison. But, the colors are quite a bit different. If you are familiar with "Safety Orange" (not Hunter Safety Orange) that is commonly used in Industrial Applications, it is close to that. Hugger has quite a bit more red than this.

Under Hood will be tomorrow. I have to get it spiffed a little at least. It's shy you know.

I don't have time to do a full clean on it right now, so these pics are just sort of the normal driving mode look. I like to keep it clean. Keeps people saying "how is that thing a DD?"

I love the color. I was thinking this last winter about stripping mine down and repainting it the tangelo orange..

You better be carefull with that beauty, you could get a nose bleed sitting up that high and that would ruin the interior....

Hey - shut it!

I am going to lower it, but not until I can get some wheels probably.
Until then, it's just a stock old truck suspension. Even still, I only plan on going 2/4.

You must be from BIG ORANGE COUNTRY. Nice truck.

OlChev67 · 04-19-2007, 11:12 AM

Very cool truck. gotta love orange

Orange · 04-19-2007, 01:00 PM

Seriously though...

Don't criticize too bad - this is a daily driven vehicle, so there is only so much cleanliness that can be maintained. I pour hours into before shows and such - not the case for these pics as you can tell.

Got my new 9" booster and master cylinder to put on now too!
WOOHOO! That'll get rid of that big ugly thing on there now. Mounting is going to be tough though - I am going to have to do some modification.
