Cant wait to see what you do with this one. Love the polished slots. I need to find a set for my truck.

**special-K** · 12-28-2011, 09:34 AM

Alright,polished is ok...I guess. I love hub caps (blackwall) and wheel covers (whitewall) but this truck needs something to look like it's been on there a long time. Can't go wrong with 8" rallyes. With dog dish the wheels would need painted,unless you had skanked out 8"ers off a 4wd. Painted Medium Olive would look good. I just think the wheels need patina,too. No doubt,any of your choices will look great (and it's none of my business if someone wants to go out and put wheels & tires on their truck to make it look like their truck needs a paint job and all new trim so their truck will match the wheels

)

Rene, i see you brought another truck home.... are there any cool trucks left in the Valley? LOL .... I'm heading out this morning to this guys property . Apparently he has 25 acres of stuff/junk and several Trucks he wants gone....this should be fun... Hey by the way Rene I'm getting my own TV show on Discovery called "Mexican Pickers" you want to be my partner ? LOL!

shawno72 · 12-28-2011, 10:31 AM

Did you say Mexican

?? That's to funny. That would be a cool show with a couple of guys hunting down these old trucks.

I like the faded medium olive stock rim idea with the dog dish, black or white wall? I might consider that, thanks Tim

BB72CHEVKT · 12-28-2011, 01:51 PM

I agree^^^

C/10 King · 12-28-2011, 08:51 PM

Newest up date rallies and clean factory tinted windows, went for a cruise today and it runs as good as it looks!!!!!! Yes that's a good thing.

**lolife99** · 12-28-2011, 09:14 PM

Like it,... but that rear bumper has to go,...

How good is that '70 inner grille.
I need one for my stepside.

black_sheep454 · 12-28-2011, 11:17 PM

Rally's look good, but we need picks of each to decide for sure.

Looks like '69 Turquoise Poly 511 or '70 Medium Blue-Green Poly 529.

Delmo · 12-28-2011, 11:28 PM

That 70 has the same hooks on the bed sides as that 65 I just got. Ya they are practical but geez what a ton of holes.

mcbassin · 12-29-2011, 12:02 AM

Your new addition looks great with the rallies. Couple of questions about this ride.
How is the rust or lack of? It looks like the rockers aren't even rusted.
How is the market for solid trucks like this in Cali? I know you know where all of them are obviously. Trucks like this are impossible to find around here. I would love to have an original "patina" ride like this. And yes a 69 or 70 model.....They can't possibly cost as much as a frame off build. Plus you get to drive them as soon as safe to hit the road.

Thanks Mike, the 70' overall is in very good shape what I can tell, the rockers are nice I unfortunately can't pull out the mat without destroying it

I haven't pulled the seat out yet, but I plan on doing that tomorrow so I'll have more of an idea, I really think that I'm safe inside the cab, in the bed there is some surface rust with the front/header area being a little worse and a very small area under the typical front fender. The market is great for factory painted trucks and the stocker the better!!! Patina is easy maintenance just wipe the chrome clean the windows, white walls and cruise.

mcbassin · 12-29-2011, 01:12 AM

Thanks Rene. I hope you don't find any suprises. How dang many of these sweet trucks do you have?
Crap! Hope you don't run out garage space

You can send that green truck as is to me if you don't have room.
