fresh paint
I inherited my 77 from my grandparents who used to take me camping in it about 30 years ago. We towed about a 19 foot trailer behind it all over the Southwest. My grandmother was a little ol 4'11" farm girl who moved west during the dustbowl and preferred driving it over her 4 door Buick. My grandfather helped build the Hoover dam driving the dirt movers up and down the grades.
My 8 year old has already driven it in the local orchards and even accomplished his first "burn out" in it. ![]() He had it painted blue in the late 80s and I had it redone in its original color. Only mod was adding the newer fuel door pockets. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Time to rebuild and decide on bedliner color, black or closer to body color. sorry for topic spelling, LOL |

Re: fresh paint
hey, great looking truck. you did all that in your own garage? Just curious about the color you used? my truck looks to be the same grey/silver. Im wondering the color name or color code of it? Id go with a black rhino lined bed or a bed liner. noticed the original seat, nice. my interior is the same color as well. Im assuming its a custom deluxe?

Re: fresh paint
Looks really good, 77! Is it Base coat/clear coat? The paint job is evidence of a bunch of hrs. put into the body work. Very nice.

Re: fresh paint
yes, there was a lot of hours put into it and Im really happy with it. Even the small dings I said not to worry about, they took care of. just under 4K with the fuel pockets and its a 2 stage like you mentioned, base/clear
