It's not the paint guy but the paint supplier who loves him. They were able to open up a new line just to produce enough paint to cover this sucker

Can't wait to see it all finished up!

I see a white top, that's going to look great with the blue!

It's going to have a white top but also have white in the front grill as I am going with a 68 theme.

I just read the whole thread, I love your truck, great work!!!!

*Dylan · 10-21-2009, 08:35 AM

Can't wait to see final paint!

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-21-2009, 08:03 PM

Very nice! The only thing that I would change is to replace the BBC with a 5.9 cummins. Your mileage would be easily doubled. Oh well, it is still a very nice truck! I can't wait to see it painted.

myoldmetal · 10-22-2009, 03:32 PM

Cant wait to see the pics when you are finished. I am currently gathering my budget to build a crew cab out of my 71 K20, so picks of a finished version including a lift kit like I plan will help my wife see what it will look like....which of course will help my budget crisis significantly! I plan to do the same rear doors like you did that have the radiused upper corner, so it looks original. As a body/paint guy myself, I have great respect for anyone that takes on a project like this! Unfortunately, I have to start from the beginning!

extd56 · 10-29-2009, 07:54 PM

A few pictures of the truck in the paint booth waiting its turn.

Chevyman63 · 10-29-2009, 07:56 PM

COOL...I can't wait to see it painted!

extd56 · 10-29-2009, 07:57 PM

Now it is almost out of the paint shop so that I can start getting it back together.

Chevyman63 · 10-29-2009, 07:58 PM

That was much quicker than I expected!

extd56 · 10-29-2009, 07:59 PM

Last of the pictures. The tailgate is not done yet but should be done tomorrow.

extd56 · 10-29-2009, 08:47 PM

I am trying to decide whether I should chrome the grill hoops and headlight bezels or use the painted ones. I know which way is cheaper.

I think your Powder coat chrome would look good.

I agree with Kevin. The chrome powdercoat does look good.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-29-2009, 09:38 PM

Man that truck is going to be awesome! I say go with chrome, it'll just help set it off.

Mayo · 10-29-2009, 11:19 PM

Looking good. I think chrome would look better but I don't think blue would look bad.

A few more pictures of the crew cab

Mayo · 11-09-2009, 05:30 PM

Man, that thing looks really good.

msgross · 10-30-2009, 01:01 PM

I was going to chrome mine but just found a set of nice NOS hoops. I think that the grille hoops and headlight bezels should match the hood and eyebrow trim instead of the bumper. If it was all chromed then it would look very sweeet.

I have a nice steel set for sale now if needed.

**steelhorse** · 10-30-2009, 01:38 PM

cant wait to see it done.

Byronic · 10-30-2009, 01:54 PM

Sweet truck.

Lot's O room for everyone. What color is that?

The color is from a Dodge truck, like a medium blue.
