That sucks. I guess i worded that wrong, i didn't mean red headed step child but more just, a replacement. Anyway, i have just dealt with that myself where i have gotten a vehicle to replace the one that got away and it never felt the same. No matter how "superior" the new one was, it still didnt have the same feeling that i got from the original. But it was still fun! Anyways, ok, i'll stop talking now.

I have to say, it MAY be on the block as it totally depends on whether the potential buyers are blowing smoke or have the money to actually pay for the truck. If I don't get what I want, I'll just keep it and let it be as-is until I can finish it. It's not a dire situation and I'm not forced to sell it by any means!

Thank you for the kind words though!

Well, she is off the chopping block...I'll just keep plugging along as I get the chance and slowly this restoration will hopefully continue.

Any updates on your truck? You were one of the inspirations for me to buy my 90 crew!

A few months back I saw this on ebay. Not sure what happened on the auction though whether it sold or not. It was a great work in progress for sure.

I ended up just selling the truck to a member in Saskatchewan, Canada. He flew down and drove it home about three weeks ago. I just couldn't finish the truck and for the time being, with school I had to put other expenses ahead of the truck. I live credit debt free and was having trouble even paying for fuel for the truck so I decided it needed to go.

Sorry to hear that you had to sell the truck. But it sounds like it will have a good new home.

Has the new owner started a thread?

Not sure, but it would be nice to see the progress of the project documented somewhere!

y5mgisi · 09-03-2014, 10:43 PM

Any idea where this project is continued?

**hatzie** · 09-07-2014, 06:11 PM

Two tone is almost a must with a crew long bed.
Blue wouldn't work with that gorgeous interior... Too bad because that blue and white truck looks great.

That '70s style white secondary color position looks better than the factory '80s below the trim to the rockers secondary color. The narrow stripe offsets the white but pulls it together like the '70s up level trim did.

Maybe...
Red with Cream or White

Dark Hunt Club Red Metallic (burgundy) like the 1995 GMC with Cream or White.

Light Brown and White or Cream.
Dark Metallic Brown and White a 1985 factory color combo.
Dark Metallic Brown and Cream is period correct too my 85 C10 was that combo but the 2 tone roof probably wouldn't work on a crew.

Anything in reds, white, cream, tan, and browns would look good. More ideas here.

Updates? This truck is awesome!

K20chevy · 10-12-2014, 05:06 AM

Thanks for keeping the thread up on this build Carl!!!

The original rendering looks great... if you want something more OEM, why not white as the main color and do the brown as the stripe in the middle but painted like the white and blue truck... (make sense???)

So the blue in white and the white in brown....

That could look really good too!

COS399 · 05-07-2015, 09:12 PM

Anything new to post? I like this rig.

Subscribed. This truck needs to be painted like the Fall Guy truck from the 80's TV show.
