id say your zo6's silver is the best looking, and it would be cool to have the new car and old truck the same color, i would go with that IMO.

I keep coming back to this thread expecting to get a good look at that Monte. I've owned a lot of Chevelles in my life and one Monte. Guess which car was my favorite?

Reading his other posts I'm assuming that's his old Z06 he was talking about.

Re: Who has the best color Silver? Pics of Silver C-10's please...

Yes the non-hatch back was an 02 model C5Z06...I have an 08 C6Z06 currently in the very first pic. These are the only modern vehicles I have ever been happy with for drivers. I am just an oldschool muscle car guy at heart. My 68' swb fleetside I am building will be my daily driver everything else will sit and take a break! I have been wanting to do a 67-72 swb for a long time. There are some sweet ones on this forum!!!!!!!!

Racie - As promised, a couple pictures of my convertible. Every year they convince me to drive it in the local parade. The yellow one is the first car I every owned. I purchased it two weeks before I had my driver's license. After my truck box gets painted I'm gonna completely re-do it. Frame off.

Nice...very nice. It's cool to have your first car still too. I have my first one I just hope it isn't to far gone now after sitting in the country all these years at my parents. I plan on touching it one of these days with a stock look but modern up grades like an LS-3 heart and tranny! It was a 77 Z28!!!!!

Not my car but in the pics but my 77 was identical...they were pigs from the factory but were fun when dug in them a little with cam and exhaust mods!

I was thinking vortec 350, 200-4r tranny, and 3.73s in the rear for my 72 Chevelle. Using the online rpm calculators that combo should get me the same r's as I get now on the freeway with my stock, on-legged 2.73.

Oh and I want to get matching front turn signals. They have been mismatched since the day I bought the car in 1984.

Speaking of rear ends, my 71 Monte had that same one-legged 2.73. If I could keep the speed around 70 mph (illegal back then) I could get 23 mpg all day long. I was thinking that if I get the lock-up of a 200-4r I could get slightly better than 23 on the road and still roast the tires with the 3.73 gears.

Nice Z28 by the way.

Silver is definitely a color that sits well on these Trucks.
