wish I would have repainted original 517 Maroon.

Looking around here I found that 517 maroon is a fairly rare color. My short step 69 GMC is 517 maroon. I now wish I had repainted it that.

Re: wish I would have repainted original 517 Maroon.

In fixing up the Circuit Rider I decided to stay with the Two Tone Green verses switching colors. Sometimes it's hard to know how to make some of these decisions. By the way...Your truck does look sharp.

Looks like 2wd, no front hubs, unless those caps are hiding them, which would be odd. Nice truck.

Nice truck! The real question here is "Did you do what you wanted and get what you liked?"
That's really all that matters.

Duh....I see now that those are perhaps GMC centers. At first glance, I thought that was where you turn the hubs in and out. Guess if that was true, you would have hubs on the back too! lol

Still a great looking color!
