Nice truck. Real clean lines. Thanks for sharing.

*racedvl* · 02-26-2003, 10:13 PM

I like it! Don't y alove the digi camara?!?! I rembember when I got mine I took a pic of everything!

The Terminator · 02-26-2003, 10:13 PM

I meant to add that the best $25 that I have spent recently was for a cheap digital camera It is good for putting things on Ebay or Yahoo to sell, and I put up the pictures on my web page with it. What kind of camera did you buy?

Jason71k10 · 02-26-2003, 10:33 PM

The camera is actually my girlfriend's. it's a canon Powershot A20. it takes really good quality pics....I actually had to save that pic in a lower quality just to post it on here. i have more pics, interior ones too, but they're too large and I can't get them small enough to post on here. If anybody has some ideas on how to do it, that would be awesome. the program i'm using is just the one that came with the camera, not photoshop or anything.

thanks for the kind words about my truck guys........you can tell we see these truck in a totally different way than other people.......most people would say it's P.O.S.!!! but not you guys

Jason

If you save them at around a 340 x 280 resolution, which is basiclly a 3 x 5 photo, they should be just fine for uploading. Also, save them as jpeg's. I have several photo programs, but Microsoft Photo is great for saving them as the proper file type I don't know about your camera, but mine are all .bmp's when they are downloaded. I just open them in MS PHOTO and save them as jpegs. Also, MS Paint is great for resizing photo's. It will resize both horizonta and vertical the same amount when you resize the photos. Hope this helps. - Ted

Jason71k10 · 02-26-2003, 11:23 PM

hey Ted, i PMed you about resizing my pic......if i can't do it, i'll just take a new pic in a smaller resolution

Jason71k10 · 02-26-2003, 11:33 PM

i'll try a pic of the interior......

Jason71k10 · 02-26-2003, 11:39 PM

sorry about the shat quality 102 kb isn't that much

Alex Hayley · 02-26-2003, 11:41 PM

What are you talking about "one day it will be awesome"...it looks awesome to me!!

The Terminator · 02-26-2003, 11:41 PM

I don't see where you have a problem, Jason. The pic looks great to me. I could use those blue door panels, and those blue armrests that you have.

Here is a shot of the inside of my truck. I still need to add the dash pad, door panels, carpet and insulation. I will also need to add a dash box, and a new seat. Best - Ted

Jason71k10 · 02-26-2003, 11:47 PM

Nice ted!! what colour of blue is that?? Mine's Quasar......apperently they used it on 'vettes in the early 90's. You can just barely see it in the pic of my interior, but i mounted my triple gauge exactly where you did(i'm sure a lot of people do)......it was perfect, i just used the bolts that hold the heater control in place....didn't even have to drill any holes

Jason71k10 · 02-26-2003, 11:52 PM

here's a pic of the door panel

The Terminator · 02-26-2003, 11:54 PM

The color is called Bahama Blue, it is a Phord color. The original color of the truck is red, as you can see if you visit my web page at the link in my sig file. The fellow that I bought the truck from, painted it this color, when he had the cab stripped and dipped while it was off the frame. Also, GM used a Bahama Blue in the early 70's, I don't think that it is the same one however. - Ted

Sweet Truck

I was in Barrie last week with my grilfriend looking around we wan't to get married and move up there in a year and bit. The road salt is deadly Eh? Later Dude.

Super Chevy · 02-27-2003, 12:42 AM

i can honestly say thats a nice looking truck, wish i could have a 4x4 that old, looks like it'd make a nice trail rig.

Jason71k10 · 02-27-2003, 09:37 AM

yup, Mario, the road salt is deadly

, that's why I drive it as little as possible! Anytime we go out we take my g/f's car(02 neon) unless the roads are bad...then I GOTTA lock the hubs and giver!

I'm sure it would make a good trail rig, but when i've finished the resto, it'll be a total pavement pounder. I'll buy some sh!t box to hit the trails with
