Lets see some Metallic Purple trucks! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Miller92 · 01-17-2011, 01:19 AM

Ok, I posted a thread saying silver/black combos, but I decided to go a different route and don't know how to delete my other thread so I'm starting a new one. But anyways, my dad had a Deep Metallic Purple Camaro and I've always wanted something that color but can't find any pics of trucks like ours that're purple, so if anybody has some I'd be glad to see them!

Thanks

This is the first one that comes to mind that I can remember seeing. In my quick search of purple trucks all I found was F*rds.

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 10:22 PM

i run a 360 small block, dynoed at 555 hp. Built it myself. Goin on my 3rd season with this motor. 11.40's at 114 is what I run in the quarter

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 10:24 PM

fixing to pull all the front steering out and put in manual rack and pinion steering with a competition engineering steering cloumn kit

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 10:24 PM

hope to take another 60 or 70 lbs off the front end

Miller92 · 01-17-2011, 10:27 PM

I've got a 362 sitting in my shop... Maybe I can catch ya in a couple years. lol do you have the lightweight body parts or is it the stock body?

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 10:36 PM

the body is all stock except for the hood, its fiberglass. Nothing is cut out neither. The original dash and fenderwells are still in place.

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 10:38 PM

i take that back, I did take out the wood in the bed, it now has diamond plate for the floor and I lined the inside of the bed with dupont bed coating. I also just installed a aluminum bed cover to keep water off the fuel cell. Let me find a pic and I will post.

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 10:41 PM

my bed cover I made

Miller92 · 01-17-2011, 10:46 PM

Now thats kick ass man! I wanted to turn this truck of mine into a lil street strip toy but sold my other one, so for now it'll be my daily driver. But as soon as I get another truck it'll be hitting the strip.

Miller92 · 01-17-2011, 10:46 PM

How much did that diamond plate cost ya for the bed?

quicksilverchevy · 01-17-2011, 11:24 PM

actually it was one of those "good to know people" deals, lol. I paid nothing for diamond plate or the aluminum for the bed cover. All I had to buy was the piano hinge for the rear cover to access my fuel cell

markeb01 · 01-18-2011, 01:57 AM

That is a very cool looking truck!

Miller92 · 01-18-2011, 05:39 PM

Damn, wanna introduce me to this friend? lol

jchav62 · 01-18-2011, 06:45 PM

From the files...

quicksilverchevy · 01-18-2011, 09:05 PM

here is the dash that I made and the engine bay.

quicksilverchevy · 01-18-2011, 09:10 PM

here is my switch panel and digital dial in board, sorry that is it sideways.

D.C. · 01-22-2011, 03:19 PM

Here's my 62 that I'm in the middle of an engine/tranny swap. It's in pieces now but here's what it looks like all together....It's GM black with Ultra-Violet Mustang Purple scallops on the nose and a purple pearl all over.
