Oh man, I totally missed those renderings. The gold with white is what I'm doing with my truck. Looks killer. Love that blue too. Two very nice color combos.

front bed panel welded up headed to the body shop

[belowme51]

looks great brother.

[67cheby]

thanks man !

[67cheby]

i hope it looks as good as i think it will !!

[VA72C10]

Looking good man. So have they given you an ETA on color for the bed???

[67cheby]

no ,ETA it is the body shop that does all of the paint and body work for the car lot that i work at so they work on it in the off times when they arent busy with collision work

[YBNORML]

I'm a big fan of that particular 2-tone scheme. Can't wait to see it!

[watahyahknow]

i might do the inside of the bed in the lighter coulour bedliner too

[67cheby]

After all of the money and time we have spent on the inside of the bed it will be painted ! I think to many people ,with show trucks use bed liner as a cover up so they don't have the cost of finishing the body work inside the bed, and that is fine if that's what you like (that is what I did on the bottom of my cab) I just prefer it to be finished out and painted ! Don't get me wrong I don't dislike everyone's with Berliner in it , it does have its place and serves its purpose well

I agree!!!! Mine is in liner but wood will cover it soon. The colors that you chose on the pic are perfect, very classy. Your truck is just sick........in a good way!!!

I know what your plans are and it is going to look killer and i in no way meant that you are anyone else using bedliner are doing anything wrong, it is just my personal preference ! and if i was planning on using a truck for a truck there is no way i would do anything other than spray in liner !

Agreed! These trucks in reality will not see much work again so make it purdy!!!

[raull]

you do have a lot of custom work on that bed , it deserves a paint job !!!

[67cheby]

thanks Raull i probably have money and time in the bed that lots of people have in there average Joe daily driver trucks, and i want that to be one of the main focus points of the truck, i might be subtle enough that lots of people wont even recognize the time and effort put into keeping all of the lines and concaves in the bed sides looking right but i guess we will see hopefully the inside of my bed will get the respect i think it deserves ! and then again maybe i am just overthinking the whole thing !! LOL

not at all !!!! must of us focus so much in the engine bay , interior suspension , pain and etc , and at the end must of us just throw the bed in and off we go , so im sure you're bed will be noticed !!!!

[watahyahknow]

[longbed67]

Did you use the tintable bedliner on the bottom of the cab so it is the exact same color as the paint so no one who doesnt take a really really close look can tell the difference?
