What's the specs on those tires? I really like the look of those!

puppy · 06-11-2009, 11:44 AM

WOW! That is almost scary! I had to do a double take to make sure that wasn't my truck.

thats not a puddle, the trucks just marking its territory

ChevLoRay · 06-11-2009, 12:51 PM

My opinion is that black trucks need some bling. Whether it is a touch 'o chrome or some flames, they need something shiny. Wheels are one thing. You don't want the wheels to be the thing that draws your eye at the git-go. That "murdered" truck you mentioned has been posted on here before and it is "too" black, in my opinion.

My black truck will have chrome grille, bumpers, handles and Goodmark-style flames. All side trim removed. Wheels are powder-coated red.

mclairmo · 06-11-2009, 01:09 PM

Black is beautiful but the bodywork must be flawless or else you will see every imperfection. Also, the paint will need to be color sanded and buffed or else any orange peel will be very obvious. Lighter colors are much more forgiving of wavey body panels and orange peel. Also, you will need to wash and wax a black truck much more often.

Gray Ghost · 06-11-2009, 01:43 PM

Yeah, I know the drill....this is a work truck ....that said it doesn't have any Bondo on it and it's fairly straight except for the tailgate. I am not goign for show looks but I will be filling all the holes. Gonna have a buddy do it for me the old fashioned way....a lead sled '70!

Puppy, I'd never seen your truck until the other day when you posted those wheels for sale. After seeing yours I knew I had to go black. That's one mean looking 68!

puppy · 06-11-2009, 01:57 PM

I hope the end result is something similiar a couple of my favorites:

I am strongly considering putting the front and rear chrome bumpers, chrome headlight bezels, chrome tail light trim, and chrome grill surrounds on it.

Gray Ghost · 06-11-2009, 02:19 PM

If you do I want the roll pans!! I like the second truck better.

BossHogg69 · 06-11-2009, 02:33 PM

ditto on the chrome trim and wheels!!

puppy · 06-11-2009, 01:35 PM

I'd like to see some pics of my truck that have been posted. Not sure that is has ever been on here.

clos69 · 06-11-2009, 02:58 PM

here are some that i've saved

Jim_PA · 06-11-2009, 03:02 PM

Please allow me to disgrace the nice trucks with my poor mans paint job

Jim_PA · 06-11-2009, 03:06 PM

brad_man_72 · 06-11-2009, 04:04 PM

i like the sport bumpers and grill trim shiney to.

you know what they say once you go black, you dont go back.

andrewhass81 · 03-22-2012, 11:14 AM

I'm working on mine right now. Black/chrome/shaved 69 long step. Black phantom grille, chrome front and back bumper, chrome wheels, everything else is black. I've got the bed pulled apart right now for paint. Next up the wheels are getting sent off. After that, door shave kit, relocate the gas tank under the bad, put her back together and start making the shows/cruises. I'll post some pics as I get her back together. I managed to get it apart before I had back surgery, now I'm in recovery mode. Not being allowed to do anything has seriously given me the itch though.

shawno72 · 03-22-2012, 11:16 AM

Sorry the pics are so small but it is blacked out.
