Re: 1969 Short Wide
You know what i'm going to say Mike, since i'm painting mine Red lol, But of those I really like the second pic especially if you plan on running factory trim. That would look awesome with some polished billets or coys.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I really like black also, but with NO trim.
if your running trim these trucks look great two toned. my2c If you get coys and paint it black it will be too similar to landens truck and he might mistake it for his.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I vote number 2 as well. Victory red and white two tone factory style. I personally would only run trim on a two toned truck. Looks kinda weird on a solid one IMO

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I like pics 3 and 4. Every where I look I see orange/white 2 tone swb's. Solid black is hard to beat! I also like solid orange too. I'd run upper and lower mouldings too. Great floor repair on your cab. Your passenger side A pillar brought back memories. The last one I did did the same thing. One thing that does surprise me is the poor fit of the front floor patches and the cab supports. I mean how dang hard would it be for them to get the dies correct? Keep up the great work!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I always liked lower trim only and the second color below the trim, but the 71-72 style is nice too...

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Tell me Gringo, the 69 and 70s didn't have the option for cap and middle painted? Only the cab and below the lower trim or both but not between the upper and lower trim and the cab like the picture of the red and white 71/72 above? It really doesn't bother me because I have modified so much of this project. Just want to clear this up in my head.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Time for some more rust repair. I thought that there would only be a small spot that needed fixed when I was blasting the rust spots. Well, after prodding around I found more. I got a good deal on a Triplus patch panel from lolife, Thanks Keith! The panel is heavy gauge and fits very well. No major problems with the install, plus I am installing a headliner so the seam will be covered.
This is what I was up against: Marking the cut Cut out RUST Using the old piece for a templet. Always leave material to grind to fit when you cut these patches. (measure once cut ten times) More fitting of the new piece POR-15 on the patch POR-15 on the roof Tacked in place Finished and ready for light coat of filler. More rust to come, then on to fun stuff. |
