You did a great job on your 50th. Which one of them 2 boys got the keys for his birthday?

chevy one · 02-04-2008, 02:31 PM

Awesome job!!! Now that she is done, what you going to do with all your spare time? I have one or two projects laying around you could get started on

gotta love that BB too! Enjoy your ride you have earned it.

Frizzle Fry · 02-04-2008, 02:36 PM

That is beautiful!

stllookn · 02-04-2008, 03:54 PM

Very nice job...I love the 50th Anniversary trucks. Did you redo the SPID or is that the original? What type and brand of paint did you use? How many miles on the truck when you started? Where did you get the carpet and dash pad? Do you have pics before you started the refurbishment? How about some more history on the truck.

Thanks for posting.

BTW...let me know if you are ever looking for the original 50th seat cloth...SMS in Canby, OR has the material.

Jim_PA · 02-04-2008, 11:01 PM

I saved all the pictures, so I knew what mine is supposed to look like. Nice!

weasel29gm · 02-04-2008, 11:07 PM

Now thats how you restore one!!! One of the best I've seen on here. Very well done!!!!!

griesel72 · 02-05-2008, 12:30 AM

very, very nice and original truck, i really like the factory stock trucks

Blue'72 · 02-05-2008, 01:18 AM

Unbelievable job!!! I bet it wasn't that nice 40 years ago when she rolled off the line!

DirtyLarry · 02-05-2008, 01:57 AM

Nice! I love the color combo on the 50th anniversary trucks. That is the original color of my 68 GMC. Some day I want to return it back to original.

Isn’t the factory wheel color actually a grayish/silver color?

**Joesjunk** · 02-05-2008, 02:06 AM

That is a super nice looking truck!!!

OregonC20 · 02-13-2008, 10:47 AM

I'm also curious to know if that is the original SPID Sheet. Mine has the same font. When I first posted my truck here some people doubt that it wasn't the original.

toms68cst · 02-13-2008, 10:57 AM

Well done!

It's nice to see someone putting effort into a really nice stock restoration.

Get those tailgate letters painted so she can wear her name with PRIDE!

1LoC10 · 02-13-2008, 11:14 AM

looks good, nice job

awesome truck- Pretty soon I will starting on my 50th! Have to finish my to other 67-72 trucks first

rsavage · 09-25-2010, 07:14 AM

That is one fine looking truck! Congrats on a job well done.

**MikeB** · 09-25-2010, 07:37 AM

That's one of the best examples of the prettiest pickup ever made, IMO.

It's great you didn't feel the need to slam it, put 20s on it, or billetize the engine compartment.

But what's a "CHROME BUMBER"?
