The truck is painted!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RamAirZ · 12-05-2008, 10:51 PM

Well I finished up most of the body work today, I just have a little bit on the passenger door area but the rest of the truck is painted!!! I also installed the chrome trim rings on the wheels and painted them as well. I just need to mount my new winch bumper and finish the one door and it's DONE!!!! (well the paint/body is lol)

RamAirZ · 12-05-2008, 10:51 PM

Looks alot different now huh

And this pic doesn't even show how bad the truck really was

71swb4x4 · 12-05-2008, 10:54 PM

Looks good. I am glad you got rid of the old (new???) bed.
Do you have a shop that you painted it in?

RamAirZ · 12-05-2008, 11:16 PM

nope, all painted in the parking lot of my apartment lol. Ya I am glad that I found a good original bed for it.

RamAirZ · 12-05-2008, 11:49 PM

Here's a good before pic

**Yukon Jack** · 12-06-2008, 09:19 AM

Looks good. What paint did you use? Eager to see your winch bumper.

msgross · 12-06-2008, 09:57 AM

I like it..

details on the truck? that a 4" lift?

71swb4x4 · 12-06-2008, 10:03 AM

I bet your fellow apartment dwellers are proud of you too.

72BlckButy · 12-06-2008, 10:48 AM

Nice work, that thing is coming together!

RamAirZ · 12-06-2008, 01:27 PM

Thanks, I snapped a side shot with the wheels painted and trim rings on. I'm debating if I want to use the center caps or not.

Ya my apartment neighbors like the truck, one guy stopped by yesterday and was like "I love walking by this thing everyday and seeing the progress you have made!". I used BLP Mobile Paints Olive Drab Green in a spray can for the whole truck. Down the road I plan on sprayin the truck for real with this same color. The paint is meant for outdoor use on hunting equipment and such so they said it should last fairly well. The truck is a 67' K10 with a 350 crate motor, SM420 with T221 transfer case (just bought a divorced NP205 that I will be swapping in later), closed knuckle D44 and 12 bolt still, riding on stock K5 rally's with 33x12.50 BFG All-Terrains, Rancho 4" lift. I just finished the inside with new carpet, 07' dodge seats, new gauges and such. This is the bumper that will be going on, it's a Warn bumper for a bronco, but it was FREE

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-06-2008, 02:25 PM

New paint looks good. Did my yota the same way with the same color/..

Jtrux · 12-06-2008, 03:10 PM

Are you gonna fill in the rear side marker holes since it's a 67 or leave them open?? I vote fill them in, but that's just me.

RamAirZ · 12-06-2008, 05:18 PM

Well I test fitted the winch bumper today and I don't really like the fit (good thing it was free haha) so I decided to keep the stock bumper for now. I don't plan on purchasing a winch for awhile anyways so no biggie. Here are some pics with the front end finished

I'm going to get some marker lamps to throw in there but not wire them in, just for looks. I don't feel like doing anymore body work for now lol.

msgross · 12-06-2008, 09:33 PM

68 marker lens weren't hooked up anyway...

RamAirZ · 12-07-2008, 02:06 AM

Ya, I'm debating about filling them in now. No Dallas, no, just get the marker lights, lol.

msgross · 12-07-2008, 10:56 AM

THere is a board member that makes nice covers for them... little welding little mud and you're pure 67 then...
