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.

I love the paint job on the red truck, wouldnt change a thing about it IMO except for the name on the title if I had the $$$

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.

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?

jitteryguy · 12-03-2011, 11:30 AM

it looks good, let me know if the rust inhibitor paint fix's the rust. I'll paint all mine that color !

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-03-2011, 12:26 PM

MrPops, looking good!

joe231 · 12-03-2011, 04:35 PM

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.

Devillusion · 12-04-2011, 12:27 AM

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....

Mr Pops · 12-04-2011, 01:44 AM

Cool. is that a semi gloss?

Devillusion · 12-04-2011, 02:14 AM

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.

63chevyll · 12-04-2011, 02:39 AM

I have said this before but I love this thread
