I gotta say, go with the original colors. Blue and white looks great on the 67-68's.

thanks for the vote!

[67chevy1series]

as for this one i have done a couple things... i got a new driver door panel, a driver arm rest, and the rubber mirror arm thingy which is in grey and a one key ignition door lock key set

[67chevy1series]

more progress... painted the grill bowtie, custom camper bowties, custom door emblem squares red so they all match ( i never did understand why all the bow ties are red but the custom camper emblems and the glove box door emblem all have blue bowties i want to paint the locking hub caps(the little blue caps you turn to engage or disengage 4wd) red as well, my dad has nice superwinch (metal) hub caps instead fo the original blue plastic. also to the list is window anti-rattles inner and outer for both driver and passenger door, i installed those as well.

[67chevy1series]

Not sure if this is what you are after, the manual locking hubs on the 77 alxe are the same as yours on the 68.
