Thanks for stopping by Heath. I would recommend you buy a Western dry county "rust free" cab. Save yourself some pain, mentally and physically
I honestly think I would buy a semi truck load of them if I could find a deal on them. I have no doubt they would sell. Back when I first started working on these old trucks you could find them pretty easy around here only needing rockers. Now.....good luck.

Thanks Billy. How's your build going?

[bjcaldwe]

It is ok. I haven't worked on it recently but did buy my steering rack today. So, little by little I am at least getting the parts.

Cool glad to hear you are getting some new parts. You have a really nice suspension setup on your truck. Looking forward to new updates.

Hey fellow board members I have a little poll here, I am working on my plans for paint. I'm pretty well set on what I want but I wonder if I'm just getting old? Anyway, which do you like better? Keep in mind, I have 3" X 5" drop and will have Polished Coy's (18-20") or Polished Billets??? (18-20"). Sorry I don't have photoshop skills or I would make a mock up of each one.
Opinions
Solid red (not Porche red but Victory Gm)?
Victory Red with white cap and middle?
Solid Black?

I like the second pic
*polished billets
*red/white top/white center
also noticed that one painted the front windshield pillars and door window frames white. I like that better than the roof on the first.

I'm kinda partial to black, but #2 looks cool too. (decisions, decisions)

The second pic looks good!!! But I wouldn't run 18s up front they look like s#^! in my opinion!!!

Second pic

[Crash_OK]

solid Red...

[raull]

second pic for me !!!!

[Bennett68C10]

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.

Hey Mike,

post over in the photoshop forum and see if the guys there can render up what you are looking for

FYI, I will either run 18" X 10 rear and 18" X 8 front or
20"X10 rear and 20"X8 front. Staggard width and tire not wheel diameter size. I should have made that clear.

I guess I'm odd I like solid colors I'd go all black. But if I just had to go 2-tone the 2nd pic would be mine.

[67c10rustbuket]

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.

[RocketKing]

#2 all day, every day!!

[68 Four on the Floor]

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

[67cheby]

#2 also !

[Dieselwrencher]

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!

I hear you on the cab supports. REALLY?? how hard could it be to make a simple die like that? Thanks for the compliment.
Oh yeah, nothing against your truck but I hate orange as a color....not on our trucks but osu and texas

[mcbassin]

For the record, my favorite paint scheme is #2 but that truck is ORANGE and white. Mine will be RED and white. more like this:

Might as well go with the norm! Just kidding.
