After the Paint Job - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DREW67** · 04-19-2006, 02:32 PM

Thought i post some pictures of my truck with the new paint job, new chrome bumper and guards. Tell me what you think? I may be able to take it home now and show my wife.

Only thing now I need to do is put the bed liner in and maybe change the interior to black or brown. Then we will see if she lets me keep it.

Looks great! Wish my sheet metal was in line like that. Great color too.

1LoC10 · 04-19-2006, 02:47 PM

Looks great. I thought it was a stepside? or do you have two the same color

67ChevyRedneck · 04-19-2006, 02:57 PM

I had thought this truck was originally for sale???? I think it was two colors at the time (bed and cab different?)

Anyway, the truck looks great! I really like the color. I tried to find a 99-02 Z71 in a similar color, but it was like trying to find hen's teeth.

davidh · 04-19-2006, 03:47 PM

I knew just a little work and that would be sweet. how much the paint set you back?

ozzyracing · 04-19-2006, 03:52 PM

Well, I can safely say I have never tried to find hens teeth, but I imagine it would be very difficult. LOL

JRB · 04-19-2006, 03:54 PM

Great color, Is it copper? or what is the name of it?

Awesome!!!! That is the same exact colors (roof included) as my 70 4x4! We have called her Goldie since 1972. After the 68 is done, Goldie is next in line for a paint job.

It looks fantastic! Nice job!

1LoC10 · 04-19-2006, 05:33 PM

I guess that pic answers my question..lol ..looks good

mkundo · 04-19-2006, 08:32 PM

Drew, I'm glad you decided to keep the truck. Since we spoke about the sale of your truck without the motor. I have found a 2-wheel blazer and working on it.

ChevyCrazy67 · 04-19-2006, 09:50 PM

sweet rides

**DREW67** · 04-20-2006, 07:23 AM

Joe the guy who did the body work he did a great job for the money, I had the whole truck painted minus the top it really did dnot need it plus they wanted an extra $175 to do it. I may go by Ron's on Friday. Mkundo you still need this truck you can't haul in that 2-wheel drive blazer matter of fact we need to trade.

Swbman · 04-20-2006, 07:57 AM

Looks good to me, would look even better rolling down the road.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-20-2006, 10:15 AM

Your truck looks great!

truck69 · 04-20-2006, 11:45 AM

Is that a C20? Did you drop it in the front a bit? I have a C20 but wondered if putting different springs in the front would lower it enough.

Thanks. Truck69
