Thanks for all your compliments guys! We had a great time getting the '69 out for a stroll and I know my wife enjoyed taking the pictures.

Southern C10 · 05-19-2009, 02:31 PM

Man Nate those shots look great. Thanks for the post. Makes the time go by quicker over here.

Can you zoom in on the for sale sign in the window? I couldnt make the number out.

72BlckButy · 05-19-2009, 02:36 PM

Haha.... sure can!

OARNGESI · 05-19-2009, 04:23 PM

really cool

powell72 · 05-19-2009, 08:28 PM

Great pics Nate, how many miles did you end up driving? Does the ol' girl ride and drive as good as she looks?

tcb-1 · 05-19-2009, 08:44 PM

I've been to Hermann several times..... but I don't remember much!! (inside joke for us Mid MO boys!)

Nate, what a good looking rig! I still remember you calling me for my thoughts on it before you went to look at it. Glad you got it! Hope to see it soon.

allen123 · 05-19-2009, 10:47 PM

Nice shots! thanks for sharing

C20-67_N_MO · 05-19-2009, 11:01 PM

Cool Pics for sure.

Hope we can meet up one of these days once I get my ole rig completed.

72BlckButy · 05-20-2009, 07:31 AM

Chris, all in all I think we ran right around 140-150 miles for the round trip. Needless to say... if I was sticking to the PO's mileage schedule, with this trip as well as several others, I don't think I would be able to drive the truck until June 25, 2012!

I do have to say that this old truck does drive as good as it looks. Straight and true, but I tend to get a little wobble depending on the road conditions around 55+. This will definitely be taken care of, more to come on that.

Doug, Hermann can have that affect on people, don't even ask how I know that one. I still can't believe I took the plunge and purchased it, but with selling the '72 a couple of weeks ago, it's all good now.

allen123, thanks!

C20-67_N_MO, definitely can't wait to see that project of yours. Be sure to try and at least attend the Nat's coming up in September. You'll meet some of the greatest people you could ever ask for.

my67chevytruck · 05-20-2009, 08:58 AM

SHOWOFF!!!!

nicely done!!!

Mr Chevorlet · 05-20-2009, 03:41 PM

Nice pictures and the truck is fantastic, Can i ask what color of green that is. My first 67 was that color and i would like to paint my other that color

72BlckButy · 05-22-2009, 08:09 AM

my67chevytruck, thanks!

Mr Chevrolet, it is actually factory Light Green. I think the color was offered for several years, and according to the build sheet - Paint - 14533AD White/Light Green.

Here's a thread with a little more info on the truck.

Also check out this site for more information related to the colors available during the '67-72 years.

Scroll down until you see a box entitled "Auto Color Library Automotive Paint Color Selection Guide"

- Select Domestic - Chevrolet Truck
- Select Year - pick the specific year you are looking for

The next page should provide a color chart and code page for reference.

BTW, can't wait to check out your Blazer. Try to make it to the Midwest All Truck Nat's on Sept 11-13 in Riverside, MO (N KC).

tcb-1 · 05-22-2009, 01:53 PM

Let's break this one into two parts....

The first... what is this subtle drop you are referring too? I am unfamiliar with this word.

The second... as far as repaying the wife, so far so good. I think getting her car back in the garage was my first step back towards the bed.
