same with me, I could'nt find em round home (Tenn), my girl freind has family in Texas so when we go to visit I always hit the salvage yard around there.
I've bought 3 of the grill/core support combo's from the same yard so far, the last two had Chevy grill's .
as far as the color sceme on my red truck , seems like you, me and GMTGMT are the only ones that like it, every one else says it looks to dated.

thanks, but you'd have to have quite a few $$$. I got a good deal when I bought it but the next owner wont !
my girl friend said I was nuts to put $4500 worth of tires and wheel's on a $1500 truck, I told her a new one would cost around $50,000 so with what I've spent so far I got $40,000 left to spend on it !

That's how all of mine are. But I'm really still wanting a 05ish F-350 crew cab so sometime later I may venture in the payments again. But not if I can help it.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

I got sick of the red paint, thought this suited it a little better. Still have to paint my hood, interior and inside the box..
I don't have to do rust repair before paint if it's "rust inhibiting" paint right?

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is the paint I used, the color is "olive drab" and the color swatch was filed under "classic military vehicle" at the paint store.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Endura also has a mix as well with a few different shade choices. This is one of them with some "modifications" to the formula. Decent stuff to spray as well.....

Not a crew cab but the paint that I used on my last project is the point....

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

ya, flat as I could get it with the percentages that they allow. But it is very picky how you spray, temperature etc. Lighter coats and a faster dry time would have been optimal, just not how things worked out. But love the paint though....easy to clean and maintain.
