Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
I stuck the body (cab and bed, anyway) back on today in preparation for transporting it for paint and bodywork.

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
Shipped it off to Musclecar Restoration in Wisconsin for them to do the paint. They should get started on it in a couple of week, and then who knows how long it'll take them to finish it. But they do nice work, so I'm willing to wait!

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
Here's a couple of photos from the body shop so you can see about where it's at. Still targetting late Feb, we'll see what happens. That's not me in any of the photos, it's the guys at Musclecar Restorations in Wisconsin. In the first photo you can see them welding up the old Longhorn seams... my one major concession to originality, but it's what GM should have done and there was no major outcry when I asked on the forum about doing it, so I did it. I'm also taking out the travel-tank doors (which I believe to have been a dealer or aftermarket setup).

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
Still in paint and body, so not much new to report. Here's a quick shot of some pieces in the booth though!

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
OK, didn't want to bore anyone with parts pics, but if you insist! Keep in mind this is all before sanding it out, so it'll look a little orange-peely until then.

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
Original 1970 GM DK Blue. Color code 592, which is two tone, the blue part of which is 2169 in PPG/Ditzler plus metallic. Even checked the 1970 GM docs for that (and found the console is body color 2169 in my truck).
And to be doubly sure, two days ago I asked -them- what color code they're using (all I said was "stock color") and they said 2169, so it must be right I imagine! Not sure how they spec how much metallic should be in it. Is that in the color spec by weight or something? Or is it the paint counter-man's pick?

Re: Dave's 1970 GMC 402 Longhorn
I also just found out from my own photos that the fancy wood-grain tailgate trim for the Sierra Grande (and Super Cheyenne) just goes overtop the basic tailgate with the big embossed GMC letters. I didn't know that.
