I'm seeing Red

Red as in the color I think I want. It has been a long time getting to this point. Got the truck all apart, rebuilt the frame got a new crate 350, AC power steering etc etc etc.
Now comes the paint. Currently it is Light blue, but I'm seeing it in RED.
I plan on changing the stance slightly from stock, probably with springs not much maybe 2"or so front and rear just enough to get a slight rake. Haven't settled on tire size as yet. Looking at rims/tires after paint.
Could you guys post some pictures of your RED trucks please.
Mine is a long bed fleet side . You go it...it is stock ... other than wheels.
Thanks for your help

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: I'm seeing Red

here are a few shots of mine. the top one is the most accurate. the bottom two were in the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day, so it looks more orange than it really is.

the color is Monza Red and was used on 69 and 70 vettes.

Re: I'm seeing Red

Greasemonkey,

Yeah, the wiper motor went out so it was a good excuse to tear the dash apart and paint it... doesn't look quite as good as the pics in person, but better than gold
