Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Nah, no AC for me. I like the basic stripped down look of the engine as is. Honestly it stays really cool here so windows down is really all I will ever need. I don't know if Im going to do the rockers... I have been thinking about it but Im still on the fence. The truck is all original paint, no blends on it, and I really don't know how I feel about cutting those out and blending paint. Maybe.... maybe, we will see.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Awesome, thanks for following along. More good stuff is just around the corner. I have been playing with the 65 in my free time, enjoying it until the very last moment, when I finally list it for sale... I changed it up a bit. I will post up some photos later today.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Yes, the truck is original paint, so its the factory color. I don't know what the paint code is offhand, but maybe someone here does?

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Sweet, I love it. What paint are you using for the engine? Havent seen engine paint that color before? Regular car/truck exterior paint?

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Its just regular car paint. It lasts surprisingly well, even when subjected to engine heat.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Thanks Keith, glad you like it buddy. Here are a few pics of the 65s interior since I never posted any...
The price on the 65 is 15K. Im doing new brake shoes, springs, and wheel bearings all around this week and that should finish it off. Also going on is a mint original undented front grille to replace the dented on on there now. If anyone is interested, just drop me a PM. Its a great truck by the way!

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Yeh man I wish the wheels were on there so I can show everyone, but not yet. Soon, soon.... Right now I have my hands full with the projects you see and some I can't show you yet, so a trip to Delmo's place is not coming this week, but I imagine this month at some time... Hang in there!
