Thanks litew8 ! I always liked the metal, and earthtone colors. I wanted to go a bit darker than the factory copper color. I can remember learning to drive the 65' chevy truck on grandads farm. It was dark metallic brown/white. Ahhhh the memories.

truckzilla · 08-30-2012, 11:04 AM

What a great, great color for your vintage ride! It's looking beautiful.

Thanks truckzilla ! Ft. Worth is where I was born. Don't ask me how I ended up in Illinois.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-02-2012, 10:14 AM

Oooops ! one small setback. I guess this spot had something on it, because the paint wrinkled up.I noticed it while I was painting the base coat. so I didn't clear this area. Repair underway !

This is what's left of the lower steering column bearing. Replacing upper/lower was in the plans anyway. Trying to decide to go with the factory lower or I think I've seen a brass bushing replacement.

Nice job man! Watching this build closely. It's already super cool and is getting better each week.

**68 Four on the Floor** · 09-04-2012, 08:24 PM

Ive been away from this awhile and man youve made some progress. That color looks awesome way different from alot of trucks out there. keep it up

72blueshark · 09-06-2012, 04:46 PM

is that common on the steering column?

widewhite70 · 09-06-2012, 10:42 PM

Yep! like the brown! love the way it looks on these!

gringoloco · 09-06-2012, 11:47 PM

Never cared for that color on cars, but man it looks good on your truck without the blue. Great vision!

If your talking about the lower bearing. I think it would be common, because it gets alot of water/road crud in it. If you have the column out. It's the perfect time to put new bearings in.

Thank you Sir ! Lucky for me color choice wasn't too difficult, because I knew from the start I wanted some kind of brown.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-07-2012, 03:00 PM

Nothing cool, but it's still truck parts ! Hood hinges powder coated after blasting. Door strikers and lock mech's painted.
