what color are you going to paint the truck

**thelonerife** · 12-24-2010, 03:25 PM

Its going to be the stock light blue. I like it. And with a lot of people changing to custom colors you just don't see many with the stock color anymore.

67chevy1series · 12-24-2010, 04:08 PM

i agree i dont ever see any black factory styled 67s that is why my 67 is going stock and black your truck would look cool if you put the 67 m68 gmc trim on it has a red line instead of black

I hear you man! There are a lot of beautiful paintjobs on this site.
But I'm leaning toward the powder blue and white myself.
I found a light kandyblue from HOK. Hoping to get a deeper shine,
While maintaining that old school look.

Here is the paintjob I'm looking at doing my 68 step.
Mine will be higher, With Corvette ralleys and baby moons.

That"s what color I am going with on my Crew Cab. White/blue/white/blue.

If you are ever in Memphis I'd love for you to come by and see it.

Sure will Drew. Maybe I'll drive my truck down so you can paint it for me.lol

oldblue1968chevy · 12-24-2010, 05:35 PM

medlium blue?, gm color? good choice!

RCbowtie69 · 12-26-2010, 01:36 PM

nice build,keep up the hard work

**thelonerife** · 01-22-2011, 11:24 PM

I got some things sanded and ready to paint. And took the old heater unit out of the truck. Its for sale in the parts section.

**thelonerife** · 01-22-2011, 11:34 PM

I also cleaned and painted the fan clutch. I have to clean up the firewall up before I can do anything to it.

**thelonerife** · 01-23-2011, 06:00 PM

painted the fan,heat riser tube,alt. brackets,oil fill tube.

oldblue1968chevy · 01-23-2011, 06:03 PM

Ooo Looks pretty shiny to me

VA72C10 · 01-23-2011, 06:11 PM

Those parts look like new. Nice work!

**thelonerife** · 01-24-2011, 12:26 AM

Thanks guys. I'll try to get back on it more this week.

67chevy1series · 01-24-2011, 12:36 AM

finally progress !!!!!

**thelonerife** · 01-24-2011, 08:31 PM

Yeah Rick just a little. I picked up a new harmonic balancer for the motor. The guy that rebuilt my motor said he would come by and put it on for me. The one that came off of it was not the right one. He thought it was for a 327 or something. And whoever put it on beat it on. He said there a tool for that not a hammer.lol I'm going to paint it.

**thelonerife** · 01-24-2011, 08:47 PM

I taped up the shaft and the other end so I didn't get paint on either side. Heres the part # if anyone needs it. Its for a 72 350.

67chevy1series · 01-24-2011, 08:52 PM

Looks good cant have a chevy without the chevy orange!!!

**thelonerife** · 01-26-2011, 01:21 AM

The orange is a Chevy color for motors and I'm not sure about GMC's so orange it is. I tried looking for an original 68 GMC with stock motor and couldn't find any. I like the orange color anyway.

67chevy1series · 01-26-2011, 01:25 AM

im pretty sure they were all orange

**thelonerife** · 01-26-2011, 01:33 AM

I thought some of them were a blue or gray color but maybe not?

67chevy1series · 01-26-2011, 10:57 AM

that was after they did orange like most of the square bodies should have the blue and then black and now i guess silver

**thelonerife** · 02-06-2011, 12:28 AM

I got a new water pump and painted it. Put it on. The harmonic balancer needs put on also.I put the fan and carb on temporarily. The fan will come off when I put the balancer on and the carb needs cleaned. I would like to do it outside but its too cold right now. The air cleaner needs sanded and paint too. I switched around the valve covers that the rebuilder put on opposite. And put the oil fill tube on. Got the alt brackets on. Need to decide which alt to run.

VA72C10 · 02-06-2011, 12:46 AM

Looking good!
