Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
Here is my '63 c20. It has quite a bit of patina and character! Its got the original paint with exception of the spots on the doors(where logos used to be years ago), and where some one spray painted the bottoms of the fenders after attempting to fix them. When I bought it the whole thing was chalky orange. Ive got the main buffing done. Still need to swirl free it and machine glaze it. Far from perfect, but over all its a pretty cool all original truck. v8 4 speed.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
Lookin' good J.Cagle! Thanks for sharing. Are you going to leave the gun rack in it? What are your plans for the rest of the truck?

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
Oh yeah! The gun rack will def stay! My '64 has one as well. I plan to get it tunned up and running a lil better than it does now and just drive it the way it is. Ill spend a ton of hours cleaning it, but it'll look good. Under all the layers of dirt the paint is actually still nice in the engine compartment.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
I think my newest 70' is finally worthy of this thread.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
Hey guys,
Long time builder, first time poster. I don't know why it took me so long to join this website. Anyway this is my most recent project. It's an all original '72 SWB Fleetside with perfect patina. I picked it up from a guy that owned it for a couple months, who bought it from an old man that owned it since 1984. In the glove box is a note book with everything done to it since '84. Every oil change, tire rotation, spark plug, muffler with the date and mileage of each. The only rust through is the passenger rocker panel. It has a 283 (I havent run the #'s yet to confirm) with a 3 on the tree. No pwr brakes or pwr steering, but that will be fixed shortly. I ordered my drop srings and spindles today as well. I'm turning this into an old shop truck. I've posted a WTB in the parts board for bumpers and moulding and after I find them and throw in a 4psd I should be good to go. This will be my every other daily driver. Haha. It's the most mechanically sound old truck I've ever purchased and I got it for a steal.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?
A guy I work with is always on my case about how Ford is so much better that Chevy. One day I replied " if Ford is so much better why does everyone put a Chevy in them." He had nothing to say.
