Looks nice!

JimKshortstep4x4 · 06-21-2005, 12:48 PM

So that is what a freshly painted stripe looks like!

Your truck is looking good.

That is NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-21-2005, 02:14 PM

You should be proud of that truck, very nice!

toms68cst · 06-21-2005, 05:30 PM

Looks really good. Looks stock too.

I may want to re-do my paint-stripe some day too. How did they do it? Is it just a matter of masking it out or is there more to it than that?

The better guys at pinstriping do it free hand. I don't have steady enough hands to ever dream of trying that.

dallas71 · 06-21-2005, 06:05 PM

looks awesome....gotta love those 4x4 LWB~!!

**special-K** · 06-21-2005, 08:26 PM

Looks sharp!The center-caps are a nice touch,too.I`m thinking of a real nice GMC 1 ton I wanted to buy.It had a painted bumper with factory bumper guards...White!It`s the only one I`ve seen that way.What do you think?Simple yet elegant.Like your truck.

Matt67C10 · 06-21-2005, 08:54 PM

Nice job! Chip Foose makes it look so easy when he does it, even though it's anything but.

HOTFUN · 06-21-2005, 09:02 PM

I love those original restorations. Very nice work.
That is a keeper.

I just got insurance today....tags tomorrow.....cant wait!!!!

This truck was my daily ride for 75,000 trouble free miles and 10 yrs (its got 150000 on the clock now).....all I ever did was general maintainence and replace tires. It has sat for the last 4yrs and I decided it was time to bring her back.

The Truck is untouched stock except the wheels and tires, and a radio that I am hiding in the glove box....Oh yeah mild cam in the original 350 during rebuild. I will take more pics when completely done.

There was enough left of my stripe on the original panels that we where able to measure off of it and get the ends correct. The guy taped the stripe out and then hand painted it.

Thanks again....Paul K

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-21-2005, 11:16 PM

That is a sweet looking ride congrats..

70GMC_BOB · 06-23-2005, 03:02 PM

The pinstripe look awesome. looks like a cool alternative if you do not want to pay to replace all tour trim, or never had trim pieces.

**Canadian694x4** · 06-23-2005, 08:48 PM

Looks Great!!! I Love the Factory Paint Stripe On these Trucks!

knsmodels · 06-24-2005, 12:05 AM

Thanks all again.....just an update....Truck is all legal now and the shocks are on....I am good to go.....truck really drives great.....goes down the road straight and is running like a top (knock on wood).....really forgot how much fun the old truck is to take through the gears.....look forward to puttin some miles on her.....Paul

PS....I will post more detailed photos when I get all the nickel and dime stuff done.
