I've missed some updates - friggen SWEET man! Didn't know you were doing moldings either, you dawg!

Just about ANY color will work.

[Bennett68C10]

You mean this truck. It is sweet.

[67ctener]

Yup that's it. I really like it and not a real common scheme. I was thinking same as that with a white grille and tailgate lettering. We'll see though I change my mind to often

[67ctener]

I've thought about maybe going with this color. I see so many variations and horror stories from cross referencing medium olive. I think the Kia color is closs enough to the factory that if I didn't tell anyone then no one would know

[67ctener]

Similar lighting for color comparison

We can make that happen! HaHa.

So that green color...does anybody know what color that is exactly. It that really a factory color? I've always had two color options in my head for my truck; gold/white below trim or a green similar to this with the white below the trim.

[67ctener]

The green truck should be factory paint code 504 medium olive

WOW, what a nice color. I think its the white that makes it pop.

[knomadd]

Maybe it's just me, or my screen, but that Kia looks like it needs a little more green... I bet you're right that most people wouldn't know, especially if it wasn't sitting next to a factory color. It would look good though, as does that truck. Nice inspiration.

[original-71]

probably not the exact green you are going for but same wheels

[c10Dream'n]

the mock up looks great. i agree, that green will set it off.

[67ctener]

Yeah hector something similar to that .

Did a little work tonight, got my c10 emblem on and put the trim back on. Man I can't wAit to drive this thing. I love these trucks more and more each day. The styling team for these trucks were true artist.

Nothing new really in the pic just the emblem but I know how people like pictures around here

[thelonerife]

This is a bada$$ truck already! great job!

[Bennett68C10]

Looking good, I know you were probably excited as I was to put the emblem and trim on. Just makes the truck look that much better.

[67chevy1series]

Man that could be my new background for my phone looking good!!

[lha1992]

Hey man I haven't checked in on your thread in forever!!!! I've been meaning to see how you been an what not its been a while since I saw you last how you been?? The truck looks awesome dude!!! Actually coming together an looking really freaking sweet since I last saw it. You still have the same number BTW? I got a new number an what not an just letting friends know so. Needs meet up soon man. I'm still ironing out things with my 65. Having to do a rewire of the under dash an build a separate fuse block cause of accessories an what not.

[67ctener]

Right on, yeah same number here. I've been meaning to check in with you and see how the motors going.

Got the hood on last night what a pita. It's no where near perfect but close enough to roll to a body shop. Spent a little bit mocking up trim so I can start drilling holes. The whole time I was worried about push in clips but this whole kit comes with the stud type and nut which will make things a breeze. Anyone consider mar-k I say go for it. These are made in the USA and are flawless.

[Elliot949]

I am digging this truck alot...

[Bennett68C10]

Trim looks awesome Scott, and I agree the Mar-K trim is top notch quality. Truck is looking great.

[67chevy1series]

Imagine somebody asking you "what do you do for a living?" "Well I stamp and produce trim for 67-72 c10's..." Man truck looks good can't wait to see it out of the paint shop!

Seeing more and more of these in different lighting lately I have to agree. I'm thinking of getting a pint of the original 504 color and seeing how I like it

[ChuckDriver]

Awesome build, will be one nice truck when you're done!

[67ctener]

Got a little sidetracked this week... Put a few bucks in the dmax with her new cab lights. Nothing like taking a step bit to the roof of your new pickup. New or old gm is the only way to go!

[Bennett68C10]

Love that dmax

[67ctener]

Thanks Keith it's my second duramax and can't see buying anything but anymore.

Spent the day getting a few odds and ends done. Started putting the front end trim on and got carried away it's complete minus headlights. I know this the hood and fender trim is 68 only but I really like it and plan on going with a white grill. Also got all the driver side trim on. Hope to work on the bed tomorrow, need to square it up and would like to get a working tailgate.

A question for you guys... Typically does a wood bed get sprayed with the tubs installed?
