flamingbig10 · 04-11-2008, 06:16 AM

I know there not base colors, but the blue purple pearl might look nice all over a truck idk

future plans 18inch or 20inch wheels when I get the funds

It seems like LMC and Classic Parts (ChevyDuty) have some pretty good line drawings in the their catalogs.
I just looked through an old ChevyDuty catalog in my desk drawer and the weather stripping area has very good ones.

Have you ever asked them if you could get copies of those? If they wanted a fee of some sort I am sure people would contribute to have these readily available on your site. I know I would throw a few bucks your way.

bigblock73 · 04-11-2008, 08:00 PM

No Kevin, haven't pursued that...but def a good idea.

Most all the ones you see on that page were scanned from OLD issues of truck magazines I purchased...mostly from the 70's. I thought they were cool, and thought others might like to see them.

87 STEPPER · 04-13-2008, 09:36 AM

That's a bloody bright green mate! but i like it i don't think you'd actually be able to duplicate it in real life tho.

rod86 · 04-13-2008, 11:32 AM

yeah it is quite green, - if it gets green it will be dodge sublime green like the colour that came on 70`s challengers etc...
