Re: One more time - Grand dads 72 C10
Krylon #1910 "True blue" is a pretty close match for the centers of the hub caps.
As for the interior metal, just wax it like you would do the outside. Keep it is original as you can, remember they are only original once!!! Great looking truck, have fun with it!!

Re: One more time - Grand dads 72 C10
I think you should drive it until it dies, which from my experience should be another 200,000 miles! Seriously, some honest TLC and regular maintenance and regular time in the drivers seat would be my recommendation. You have a family gem, keep it, polish it, and show it off!
I would love some more pictures too inside and out.

Re: One more time - Grand dads 72 C10
I want to thank all of you who answered me - I think this forum is great! I will post more picks as I get her clean and suitable for you to see. I am out of town for the week but can't wait to get home and work on her. Another question - and I hope this is a legal question - what should I insure her for?? Right now I just have liability on her but from what I have heard from all of you I should maybe have more on her - she is in the garage so I don't know if my homeowners would cover a major issue or not. Is there reasonable insurance on classic trucks?
Thanks again |
