Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks? - Page 43 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

J.Cagle · 01-06-2012, 09:09 PM

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.

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?

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.

I think my newest 70' is finally worthy of this thread.

gf and me did this a few days ago, still gotta do the passenger side now

Miles18B4V · 01-06-2012, 11:11 PM

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.

I know this is a chevy site but had to post a photo of my patina 1950 ford f1 pickup. It does have a small block chevy, th 350 and 10 bolt rear end. Gets it's share of attention anywhere I go.

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.

Thanks for posting that! Cool video... Reminds me of Delmos work. I have been a fan of ICON for years, had no idea that they built those two.
