Orange you going to look at my pictures? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Orange · 04-18-2007, 09:20 AM

I have never really just posted pictures, so I am going to try to get it all covered in this thread. The interior will be coming later today hopefully, and the engine perhaps tomorrow.

These are just some low quality pics with my point and shoot digital Olympus. I am going to get some taken with a good SLR camera soon I hope.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy the pics.

Depending on your monitor and its settings, the truck will look just right, or really off in color (kind of yellowish). It should be about the color of a tangerine, or, an orange.

If any of you want them, I have high res of these.

285/70/15. There is a thread that should be just on page 2 or 3 about these tires. They are discontinued BFG's. I am going to have to go with something different when these wear out. Daily driving it that won't be long from now.

I'm in Ringgold, just south of the TN/GA line.

No, rear end is in it's stock position. All the suspension has done to it is Front swaybar (have a rear, waiting to put it on until I can modify to the exhaust to clear the end links), and KYB gas-adjust shocks. Stock Leaf rear though.

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is my everyday truck. Drive it like a truck nowadays. It had its time sitting in the garage, but it's just a truck, right?

**Yukon Jack** · 04-18-2007, 11:28 AM

Great truck for sure!

FlatBrokeRacing · 04-18-2007, 11:56 AM

Truck looks real good.

I also think for another $100.00 bill you could have "SHO NUFF" got it orange.
JK....

It does look good..

They wanted an extra $100 for material, but an extra $1,000 in labor that it took to spray the SHO NUFF coat.

Here's some interior pics guys. You can see a few of the not stock things done. Kick area speakers, radio in A/C control, A/C control in radio slot (for underdash air), seat recovered and stitched, and pretty much everything is new in there. My latest little addition is the overdrive column indicator for my tranny.

What are the details on the rear swaybar? Aftermarket? Diameter? Attachment?

Very nice truck! I'd like to do similar things to mine.

I don't really know much about diameter etc. I do know that I bought it from GMC Paul's. It is the same as some other companies offer, but I wanted to support him.

It is just the rear sway bar for the leaf spring truck. He may be able to give you some info on it. It attaches to the rear axle then uses end links to go back up to the frame. My exhaust just happens to be running right in the way, so I am going to have to modify it before I get it attached.
