Blue 72 back from paint shop finally - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

quentin hill · 11-17-2010, 12:19 PM

It's almost been a year sanding and painting and finally was able to get it painted. I was like a kid in a toy store. I can't wait to finish it and drive the wheels off of it.

Looking good. I really like the color. More pictures are needed........badly

quentin hill · 04-05-2011, 11:04 AM

It's came along way from green to the current color 1 year and 3 months of hard labor and lots of beer.

Beautiful stepper! Enjoy!

Constructor1 · 04-06-2011, 11:52 PM

Great Job. I really like that color. Also that wood bed looks great - Is that just a slide in that you can easily put in and out? Made out of cabinet grade plywood?

Thanks everybody for the comments:

The color was supposed to be sport metallic blue like what you see on the 2010 ford fusion but the guys a Macco didn't quite get it right so I'm not sure what you call that color but it does look good.

The bed I did with the best 3/4" sheet of plywood I could find at Home Depot. I cut it to fit added some 1 1/2" x 2" rails to the sides stained it walnut and put about 4 coats of urethane on it. Cost me $60 compared to $350 for the usual bed kit. It is just held in with 4 bolts and can slide in and out with ease if needed.
