Spent a couple hours outside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I finally got around to spending some time outside working on the 72. Right now with money being tight I decided to rattle can the truck to atleast one color instead of all multi colored camo look that the truck had when I picked it up.

Anyways here are some pics of what I got done before the heat and the look or rain moving in got the best of me.

The last pic shows the before pic. Also for what it is worth I didnt paint the door yet because I have another pair of doors in excellent shpae that I scored on the parts run I made a while back. The tailgate was also one of the items I scored as well.

Anyways its just a start. I want to get it to look halfway decent.

More pics to come as more work gets done

I think it looks pretty good. Quite an improvement over the first pic. Keep us posted on your future progress!

Oh yeah I also cleaned up a set of headers and cleaned them up as well for the truck. The extra doors are in one of the previous post pics with the copper and white paint. I also think the rest of the exhaust might be in one of the other pics as well. Still a long ways to go but steadily working the bugs and gremlins out of the ole truck.

Your dog looks like he(or she) is enjoying the sun --- cute little fart

Maybe he(or she) is enjoying the paint fumes. J/K

Looks Good but some would kill for that killer perfect "patina" that you had going on there.

I know what you mean about money being tight, and rattle can the truck. Because i am doing the exact same thing with my truck for right now. That way the neighbors don't complain about having a ugly truck in the yard. except that the bed is off, they might complain about that.
