Not only is it is survivor, its a time machine. Total flashback from the era. It sports its original lock ring wheels with 7.50-16 tires on front with correct argent silver ('69 only paint scheme) hubcaps. Very common to install wide base period 16.5" rims on the rear with 11 or 12 16.5" tires for camper hauling. I'm sure that paint will buff out nice!

Sorry, new at this and I see I posted this in the wrong forum but what the hell- I'll let the moderator delete or move my post. Here's one of my survivors, a 1957 GMC Suburban Carryall, clamshell. All original paint inside and out. Outside- Delta Green with Aspen Green trim; inside- Dover white and Delta Green. I did paint the wheels, they were pretty rusty, the 'ol girl deserved that much.. Started life as a North Dakota forestry truck. The North Dakota Dept. of Natural Resources ordered it in 1957 with bench seats that run lengthwise rather than crosswise; seats 5 on each side along with the standard three up front. Deluxe chrome gauges as well as the deluxe heater and controls. Standard trim outside. Purchased from the N.D. Forest Service by a local family who used it for pheasant hunting on their farm for almost 50 years.

A few more- the engine bay, original 6, left it untouched- grease up to my armpits whenever I work on it. I did wash the firewall and inner fenders, nicest paint on the whole truck.. I used phosphoric acid on the bumpers, kills the rust and brings the white paint out nicely. Don't have the money for paint and body work so it'll stay a survivor for as long as I own it- and that's gonna be a long time.. Thanks for lookin'.

Heres a couple of mine. The light blue 68 is about 90% original paint. It was a original 283-p-glide, ps, power drum truck in July Stock with hubcaps The dark blue 68 i bought from original owner in about 2000. Sold it to my buddy in 2001 and just got it back last year. Its had 1 rocker and 1 repaint. The blue 71 is all original texas truck i have had for about 3 years. It was going to get a PB facelift?? But thats before i got the light blue 68. They will all get bagged for sure. And my favorite for about the last 4 years. Krusty my 67 stepside. I have a couple trucks to sell before i can focus on the blue ones.
I love original paint and patina trucks and cars !!!!!

**STP67-72** · 11-14-2013, 01:13 AM

i also just sold the 71 bronze stepside and the 67 GMC in the last few months.

John @ BROTHERS · 11-14-2013, 01:25 PM

STP67-72...nice collection!!!

Slammed66 · 11-14-2013, 08:04 PM

One I just recently finished for a customer.

Mostly original paint. Some blending on the cab.

**tidmack** · 11-14-2013, 10:56 PM

Here's an 87,000 mile '71 Custom Deluxe survivor I picked up back in spring. The original paint still shows well and has nice patina. I had a new seat cover made and added carpet after being unable to find an original beige mat for the interior. Who has some gorgeous takeoff 3/4 ton hubcaps they'd like to part with?! I've asked a ton of questions about this truck on the board, so thanks to everyone for their help. Jeff

Bench seat: Very NICE! Similar to my original. Did you buy the insert material from SMS?? You could have bought a replacement mat (black) and painted it with vinyl paint to get beige.

**tidmack** · 11-15-2013, 07:55 AM

Thanks, yes insert material is from SMS. CARSInc had the rest of the material and completed the cover for me. I'm very happy with it and the insert from SMS is about dead nuts perfect compared to my original cover. I tossed around possibly dyeing a mat, but was worried about wear through. I figure carpet is easy enough to replace if I ever sold the truck to a purist who wants the mat back in there.

I recieved a sample from SMS and it doesn't have the gold flake the original had on the fabric pattern. Theirs seemed darker in color also. I have pics of both in my thread.
