Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Show rides are nice and all but my vote goes to good looking street driven trucks every time. Call em Real Rides.
![]() You painted the firewall black instead of blue. Any particular reason? I painted my firewall met black but with black inner fenders, rad & shroud, core support and a black engine I think it's too much and my engine is somewhat camo'd in a sea of black. My outside color will be blueish.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Looking good Kevin & as always..... killer pace. If you can be persuaded, argent-silver vs. body color on the wheels.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I personally like the all black look under the hood (firewall, inner fenders, rad. support) but I guess that's because my first 67-72 truck was like that. You just need a little color to bring the eye to the engine.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Here are a few before work (3:45am) teaser pics. Still needs adjusting and centering but you get the idea.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Kevin,... Krylon 1403 Dull Aluminum is very close to argent silver in a spray can. I agree with SCOTI,.... go for the silver!

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I use the Dull Alum Krylon but it's getting harder to find vs. Dupli-Colors brand wheel paints @ the local auto places.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I find it at my local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. Here's the first site I found on Google. http://www.filmtools.com/krdual1grsho.html

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I think I want to go with powder coat for teh rims and wonder how close they could get to it.
Here are a few pics of one of the fenders dressed up a bit. I must have had my Air PSI way off because I got some real bad orange peel on this set of parts. Well I have been wanting to try my hand at color sanding and buffing I guess now is the time ![]() ![]() I almost forgot I am thinking about using these screws for mounting the lights. I will chuck them in the poor mans lath and get rid of the dimple in the top and shin them up a bit. They are S.S. and should polish up nice. What do you think? Any other thoughts? These are flush with the lights right now. Kevin LFD inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 01-09-2008 at 03:59 PM. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I am digging the look your going with on this project with the stock trim and subtle body mods and a factory type color and wheels.
From a traditional stand point is where the argent silver or dull aluminum paint comes in for rally wheels. I like most purist kinds can appreciate different colors of rally wheels but still love the original look for the argent or silver colors. My truck when I first got it had truck ralleys I painted a deep metallic blue.......looked good I guess on a primered truck but on a painted one silver or argent is the way in my opinion. Since I have a 72 with 68 frt clip I was also tempted to place stock 67-68 side trim only on the truck........your emblems and relocated side markers are killer.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Nice work! Dressing the fender in trim really sets off the color.
Can I get a pic of the stand used to hold the fender for painting? Last edited by LooseCannon; 01-09-2008 at 04:33 PM. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Thanks guys I was not sure just how the trim would set things off and now I know. It looks just incredable as far as I am concerned! It will look even better after a few hours of cutting and polishing. My wife did not want the trim to go on but I think she has a different opinion now that she has seen it
![]() ![]() I was first going to go with the 69-72 top and bottom trim but I thought with having the 70 grill still on it but a one off 67 hood to fit the 70 grill that why not switch to the older trim. I like doing things that make people second guess them selfs as to what they are seeing. Same goes with the lights! I was going for a stockish look and I think I will end up with just that at first glance. Then the stance, hood that should not fit this truck, lowered and smoothed lights, later modle trim, LT1 vett set up and other misc stuff. I can not wait to start my 2wd blazer because it will have slight mods (And alot of not so slight when you really look at it) from bumper to bumper. It will be a fun one for sure ![]() Kevin LFD inc.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Kevin,... EVERYTHING looks beautiful! I will be tuned in for the blazer build. A little off topic,... Did project "slow build ever sell? If so, did a lucky member end up with it? Thanks for keeping us posted.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I totally forgot you were using a 70 grille shell and 67-68 custom hood.........and I thought I was paying attention.The full aluminum grille shell with the 67-68 trim is going to fool alot of people.

The Blazer build, well how can I say this with out getting alot of hate mail... The first part of the build will be getting it all back to a real good stock body thru new panels, factory panels and things like that. Their will only be limited pics of it at that point for certain reasons. After that it will not be seen untill it is fully built and ready for the shows, Sorry ![]() Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Wow, Low Buck is looking really good. The colors look great together. It will be nice when it is complete. I can't wait until we can get Low Buck and Lemon Drop together it will make a nice Kodak moment.
