i get what you mean! i may have to draw something up again!

Hey texasfunk! I really like following your progress here. Are you going to autobody school? That's so cool. On post #144 you did a rendering with the different style wheels. Would you be able to do a rendering of a 92' Silverado X-cab with and 86' stepside bed? I'm about 3/4 way through my 86' stepside build and I really like the woodbed and was thinking about maybe finding a stepside bed to swap out on my 92. Might look pretty cool but I can't even visualize that in my head. If I could draw like you I would try. Man, you draw pretty awesome too! Good luck bro!

JohnC · 02-12-2010, 06:10 PM

Nice score man!

Driveway Dreams · 02-12-2010, 08:31 PM

Great deal. And those wheels will look good on there. What are you thinking on paint now? Spill the beans already Funk!

watahyahknow · 02-13-2010, 08:22 PM

that is a nice score , could fit the extra tires to a small trailer
seen a couple of pickupbeds and pickupframecombo's converted to a trailer painted the same way as the truck pulling it and fitted with the same rims usually had a barbeque and a cooler mounted inside for tailgate parties

Driveway Dreams · 02-14-2010, 12:26 PM

That would look cool with both the truck and trailer slammed in the weeds. Sounds like watahyaknow picked your next project.

i have something really cool in mind, i got the idea from on of jasons trucks on my visit to hills

Cool! I just gotta pick on ya dude. I am sure it is gonna be awesome!

texasfunk · 02-15-2010, 12:48 PM

i was looking at the magazine articles on the wall, and the green and white truck, and the red/white one have similar paint jobs, so i will seperate it the same way, electric blue on top, still undecided on white/silver/or charcoal on bottom, and right at the back under the drop do a simple tribal flame coming off the two tone, drawing is almost done, have it for you guys tonight

Driveway Dreams · 02-15-2010, 12:57 PM

At what time?

texasfunk · 02-15-2010, 12:59 PM

and yes, its going to look SICK! i hope...lol

3r!c84 · 02-15-2010, 04:44 PM

the last one kinda looks like your drawing???? hahaa

watahyahknow · 02-15-2010, 07:21 PM

would use the colours of the bottom truck and the paintsceme of the orange one at the top , the swooping lines look better to me then the sharpish lines of the middle one
the only thing i dont like at the top one is the upsweep line between the orange and the white near the grille , if it was me i would sweep down from the upper corner of the grille and getting the sweep about mirror the curve of the bonnet to about the center of the front wheel
