Looks nice and clean, Whenever I think about painting different colors and trying to visualize what it would look like yellow never seems to do it for me but yours and others I have seen yellow always seems to have a really nice look. Good Job..

70c10 · 07-09-2004, 07:31 AM

Nice job!

*Gee_Emm* · 07-09-2004, 09:09 AM

Nice, I like the rake

*chevytruckfan* · 07-09-2004, 09:57 AM

Is that chrome yellow? That is sweet. I am buying a truck this weekend that is that color. Also what kind of gas tank is that, where did you get it, and will it fit a LWB as well? Again nice truck, I hope mine looks that good someday.

krue · 07-09-2004, 10:08 AM

Very nice, maybe mine will be as nice one day.

deth_1970 · 07-09-2004, 10:50 AM

this is nice, not a yellow person myself, but that looks good, great job

silvertonguedevil · 07-09-2004, 11:34 AM

WOW! That was quick. It seems like you just got it painted and now here it is. Nice job!!

Crank · 07-09-2004, 12:10 PM

Dude, the color, rake, and wheels on that truck are perfect... I give you a fat 10 on that beast. Thanks for the pictures.

I second that!
Man, that rake is the ultimate chick magnet! Good job.

Be prepared for compliments, they will keep coming with a truck that nice

Curbstone Mech · 07-09-2004, 12:24 PM

Looks great! Congratulations!

ChevelleChick · 07-09-2004, 01:07 PM

Very nice

barn9 · 07-09-2004, 01:54 PM

NICE!! I like everything but the light setup on the rear. But I still give you 9.9 out of 10, that is one good lookin' truck!

damage · 07-09-2004, 02:02 PM

Very nice Truck! The rake suits it well. If you don't mind me asking, what brand wheels are those? I am really digging them and would like to find something simular. They are 6 lug right?

**lock** · 07-09-2004, 02:31 PM

Sweet truck!

sactoC10 · 07-09-2004, 02:33 PM

excellent stance and color selection

1968GMC · 07-09-2004, 04:11 PM

The hard work and money I spent on this truck is paying off by your nice complements. Thank-you verry much

cheveytruck: the colour is a ford focus 2000 cald zink yellow. The white is a 67-72 chev truck white roof. I dont know the code #. As for the gas tank, it's a blazer gas tank and I got it from Bill's truck shope and it should fit a long box.
Damage: The wheels are 15x8 whit 0 offset. Brand name is eaver great but I cant find them on the net. I payed $140 cdn each. they are 6 bolts and also come in 16 inch. they only come whit 0 offset and you need spacers to make them fit. I also had to grind my tie-rod a bit AND my lower a-arm

. I dont like that idia but had to do it The rear tires also rub on the box itself when I turn and go over a curb (like driving in to a laneway for example) tire size front 255/60/15 back 275/60/15.
I have a few mor pics for you all. I love my pip mirrors,they suit the truck well I think. It makes it look old-school. I also used timmens feul filler trick but I did not use a s-10 parts (could not find one) so I use one from a osmobile something and the good thing bout that is the filler neck is the same diameter as the gaz tank (1.5 inch) so no need to weld a reducer or annything. So less work was invalved. Note my pinstripe?

franko72 · 07-09-2004, 05:01 PM

bed looks awsome , nice detail

Orence1 · 07-09-2004, 08:15 PM

Great stance! What spring/spindle combination did you use to achieve the rake?
Thanks,
Larry

**Palf70Step** · 07-09-2004, 08:48 PM

Very Nice!

1968GMC · 07-10-2004, 06:49 AM

orence1: front drop is 2.5 drop spindels and 2" drop springs.
Rear drop is 3" drop springs. To me the rear should come down more.

SLS · 07-10-2004, 08:42 AM

GOOD GAWD! That truck looks GREAT! I happen to love yellow too.

Fantastic job. One of the sweetest GMC's I've seen in a long time.

Crank · 07-10-2004, 01:03 PM

You sir, would have to be very mad at that truck to bring the rear down more, it has the PERFECT stance... Sexy is the only word that comes to mind.

frost89434 · 07-10-2004, 01:05 PM

Wow!!! Very nice truck.

I am not a yellow kind of guy but that color combo looks very nice.
