liljon285 · 05-31-2007, 12:08 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^I know i love that offset!

86swb · 05-31-2007, 10:08 AM

Steemin, that is one nice ride you have there.

69BBsuburban · 05-31-2007, 02:03 PM

Thanks! So the pearl is in the base.....Your truck looks darker than mine.....I really dig it though!
My truck is a 1993 fleet orange (tangerine I think) in Chromabase, then a few coats of gold pearl infested clear, then straight clear.....
I noticed that there is some cracking in the paint on the roof, had a guy look at it for a repair, gonna be tricky getting the proper mix of pearl to match it...

My paint is a 3 stage:
White base (I think 3 coats so it was totally even)
Orange pearl (lots of it, 9 coats)
Clear (6 coats)

Yeah blending in on pearls and flakes is tough... It takes the right guy.. We have to fix my polishing boo boo on my hood

before the guy comes to pick it up... My buddy is a friggin Pro when it comes to blending so I think it will be ok. Too bad he moved to Sequim:

!! He's driving over Friday night on the ferry and we're gonna shoot it.

boatpuller · 05-31-2007, 06:48 PM

j.r, that looks awesome..............the truck too.

i know i sound like a broken record,but man i can't see ya parting ways with that truck.oh well,build another some day.and stay on the board huh?

jr2 · 06-01-2007, 11:16 AM

I may not own (well til Sunday at least) a 73-87 anymore but I'll still be around!! You guys are a great bunch of people and couldn't imagine leaving. I still have these
63 pickup

and my 2000 OBS

so I ain't gonna be far anyway.

TOTAL RE-DO,BODY,PAINT(POSS. CHANGING COLOR),ROLL-PAN ,COWL HOOD.DID YOU EVER DECIDE TO SELL THOSE WHEELS OR WERE COULD A PERSON FIND THAT SIZE OF WHEELS?

kevinr1970 · 06-03-2007, 03:48 AM

Bought this today.
1986 GMC 4x4 swb, 2" lift.
Totally straight except on small dent above the tail-light. NO RUST, has been in CA until this past year. Clear coat is flaking really bad though.
Kid inherited it from his grandpa (might have been the original owner) and drove it from CA to here and then a little around town since then.
He has no time, money, or interest in fixing a bad tranny (college kid).

It was advertised that it didn't have reverse but all forward gears worked. But when I test drove it, it never got out of first.
Oh well, I am replacing the tranny in the '86 long bed I already own with a high dollar tranny so that tranny will go in this one.
Since I am going to make some major changes to my long-bed, I'll probably drive this one around until that one is done then sell this one.

These are the only pictures I have until I get it home on Moday.

86swb · 06-01-2007, 11:45 AM

What is that a '64-'65? They seem to always seem to rust in the same place on those years. Are you about ready to get started on it? Is that a new windshield? I have always loved that body style.
