Thanks Shortwide and 84SC,

The color is Medium Graphite Metallic I beleive it's called and it's from dare I say a dodge late model pickup.

i know i know but i get so many compliments on it so far and the paint is hardly cured

lol

The diamond plates I made myself... I work part time at a fab shop for industrial machines and i have access to sheet diamond plate, so i made a paper template and just cut it out on the band saw....

I will try to get some better pictures up once I grap my better camera....

Thanks for all the great comments keep them coming...

P.S. 84SC as you can see I ignored the comment about the CBR hahaha lol the bike is my DD actually

17,000 miles

HAH, well that color looks much better on a Chevy that's for sure. What would look cool on your truck mikep87swb is rocker panel trim in diamond plate.

Sweet! The 4/6 drop will look good on your truck. We are painting a 67 chevy II a similar color to marina blue now. I love that color.

Here is an '80 I just picked up. A six with a three on a tree.

Tj Breach · 06-22-2011, 11:31 PM

There's my girl, 1982 chevy c10 custom deluxe 3spd manual, 4.1l L6 shortbed, 47,5xx original Miles.
proud to say no scratches, and no dents, untill a week ago a foul ball at my cousins ball game hit the bed of my truck on the driver side. Wasn't so happy about that but Sh#t happens.

Currently have the Tahoe cover on it instead of the Toolbox, will upload a recent pic soon.

67Step · 06-23-2011, 08:14 PM

They are Ultra wheels. I dont remember the back set but it is the standard backset.
