Me too. Did you de-thatch before you over-seeded, and was wondering if you mulch or bag?




Oh, and love your truck too. All that work in body prep really paid off.

Ha, I had to go back to look at the grass that I never noticed, must of been consentrating on the nice blue truck too much. LOL

Wow, strange tangent we went on here but thanks for compliments on the lawn guys. I pretty much always mulch, only bag when the weeds put out seeds, overseed every couple of years and have never de-thatched but I think I may need to soon. I just water it alot(20 minutes per circuit every night) this time of year. In the pics I had just finished mowing so it looks better than it actually is but thanks none the less.

Well, pretty much done, just need to get seats reupholstered, heres a pic of fixing all the paint defects(chips, burn throughs etc.) and some of the finished product.

Wow friend!! you did a great job, beautiful truck!

[oldspowered67C10]

And a few more pics. What do you guys think for the seat colors? Im torn between 3 choices, All black, black bolsters w/ grey inserts or black bolsters w/ tan inserts.

[Rusbuilt]

All black!!

Amazing work...

[carwhore]

nice truck!

[gringoloco]

Truck looks great! Perfect stance. As for the seats, I like the idea of the tan to break it up a bit, but you would have to add some more of that color elsewhere to tie it in. Maybe a charcoal alcantara insert would be enough differentiation while remaining in your current palette.

gringo, you read my mind, even though I didnt talk about it I was thinking alcantara for the insert, after your post Im leaning toward black leather bolsters w/ grey perforated alcantara inserts, I figure the grey on the wheels and and the grille inserts would be enough to set it off. What do you think about red stitching to set off the red on the brake calipers and the bowties, too much?Thanks for the input.

Beautiful Truck

You do have some red going on with the calipers and emblems, so it wouldn't be entirely out of place. I think the door panels (and possibly dash pad) would need to be redone in some sort of matching scheme to tie it all together. Of course, it's easy to spend your money

[N2TRUX]

It turned awesome! I think all black would be too dark. My first choice would be all gray or anthracite to match the wheels and be unique.

Truck looks awesome! Can I ask what the seats are out of?

Great job...Awesome truck !!

[brianr6]

That is so beautiful, can I ask what kind of $$ you have into it in just parts, not counting your time.. I am looking to buy a 67 all original long bed for 3gs and I am keeping it all original except for wider tires and wheels

[nuke1]

I just have to say that you did an amazing job on your truck and you should be very very proud of yourself!!!!!! congrats on the truck and the accomplishment.

[67ctener]

Nailed the stance, beautiful truck. I'm leaning towards same color scheme so seeing your truck makes it harder. What size tires are you running
