Hello from Alaska, I picked up this 56 original 1/2 ton Napco 4X4 a few months ago. I'm getting ready to take it down to the frame and upgrade a few things and get it painted. Picking a color is driving me crazy. What's the etiquette for copying another dudes color? CAL58's prowler orange is awesome. And Im thinking about a green similar to 1sik52's. Its going to be tough. I will keep you all posted once I get started. (just had back surgery yesterday so it will be awhile) This is my first post and I want to thank you all for the inspiration and great information you so freely pass on in a positive fun manner.

Welcome. That truck appears to be in extraordinary shape for being in Alaska. I was in Anchorage a couple of years ago and seemed like every vehicle more that 3-4 years old that was used during the winter was visibly rusting out. As to copying colors I have no problem with it, Cal and 1sik52 probably got their inspiriation from cars or trucks they saw, I can think back to the 60's & 70's when the red-orange and green metalics were popular (look a the factory colors). It is your truck do what you wish with it.

Thanks for the welcome OrrieG, Rust is a huge issue up here. I lucked out when I stumbled across this one. I have been following your build thread and It looks like you are doing a great job. I actually have a few questions for you but I dont want to mess up this thead so I will ask them on your build thread. Thanks again

Richard H. · 11-09-2008, 12:18 PM

I'll add my 1st 55 to the mix with some new goodies this summer.
New radiator , electric fan , Vintage air , 290 hp crate engine , performance Th 350 trans , Sanderson headers , and a reconfigured steering shaft.
Anybody got some gas money?

Thanks for the extra pics man! I really like the rat look lately and wish I was driving my '54!

iokua80 · 11-11-2008, 01:02 PM

I was wondering how a patina'd truck similar to mine would look with the chromed out grille......i like it. Kinda makes me want to try it but not sure if it would still look right......

I like the grille you have now...don't fix what ain't broke

iokua80 · 11-11-2008, 03:04 PM

Thanks. You do have a point on not fixing what ain't broke. Besides as rusted as the front clip is it's liable to be completely broken if I tried to take it apart.

Daniel U · 11-11-2008, 04:30 PM

Chrome won't get you home, but it sure does look nice! At least you're getting use out of your pick up. I have an extremely expensive paper wieght in my garage. I say drive it(with or without chrome)!

Oh trust me....I've been driving the tires off it. Went to Hickory NC this past weekend (about 2 1/2 hours one way). Froze my toes off due to a couple holes I forgot to plug up. But other than leaking a little oil around the intake I had no problems. Loved all the thumbs up I was getting while driving it down there. It's an awesome feeling getting thumbs up from old and young people and the weird looks are priceless

Daniel U · 11-12-2008, 12:48 AM

I dig those looks too!
