not quite, but almost there - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Botietruck · 01-26-2009, 09:58 PM

This past weekend I installed the left step & fender and all the bracing underneath. The right fender & step are ready to install. I still have the bed wood to put 4 coats of marine varnish on.
I'll be in Roanoke this coming weekend, but looks like this truck just might be on the road before March 1. I am like a kid before Christmas...I can hardly wait.

Fresh paint, New parts, carefull installation. Looks very well done.

Is that a factory color? I have a '70 that is that color. Simple dark green (simple green).

Great looking truck! Do you have the paint codes for that color? I just picked up a truck that same color that needs some touch-up work.

Thanks
Robert

Botietruck · 01-27-2009, 07:38 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. It's been a long haul, but hopefully it will be on the road soon.
That paint code is 505 green.
