60-66 Before and After Thread (or Before and Now) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*lakeroadster* · 07-16-2010, 07:51 PM

I was surfing on the 67-72 forum and was lurking on the "Before and After" thread. So how about we start up one for our trucks?

My long term project..

I thought we had an earlier thread on this topic, but I must have been hallucinating because it sure isn't turning up in a search. Here are a few before and after shots of mine:

daverod · 07-16-2010, 09:15 PM

After sounds like your done with it.

sixbangr · 07-16-2010, 09:42 PM

here's a little change

markeb01 · 07-16-2010, 09:44 PM

Wow! Nice improvement. I love those double hump dashes.

**aerotruk63** · 07-16-2010, 09:50 PM

Double WoW!

62 Bowtie · 07-16-2010, 10:07 PM

Good times now my dad wants it back said he would trade his caddy

Sillyoldman · 07-16-2010, 10:22 PM

So far

**Chevy Fleetside** · 07-16-2010, 11:01 PM

it is the Fleetside truck but I used the bed from the stepside and now I am going back to a Fleetside bed.. And this was my first paint job. I color sanded my finger prints off on this one.

markeb01 · 07-16-2010, 11:28 PM

What a remarkable transformation. Curious - why are you going back to the fleetside bed, just because you like them better?

That is one part of it. I never thought the stepside bed fit right on that truck. It was just to narrow for me. I am keeping it the same color and I am also thinking about adding body trim.

She looked kinda like this, but with white west coast mirrors, white wagon wheels, no step tire carrier, no wood or steel in the bed.

Thank you! Drives me nuts when I can't find something I know is out there.

Malibob · 07-17-2010, 05:50 PM

This is a good one. I will need to see if I can find old pics.

Bennydog · 07-17-2010, 06:15 PM

I will bite on this one!

jbgroby · 07-17-2010, 06:31 PM

Since my truck is not finished with the painting yet I figured I'd jump in the puddle with these pics.

A month after Hurricane Katrina

A few months back after the the engine was broken in.
