LOL

that's what I get for lookin at it in a downsized window

80streetcoupe · 07-29-2011, 08:26 PM

Nice looking truck. I like your color choice. I prefer the loaded up 79/80 Silverado's, but that's just my opinion.
Don't forget to show it off when it's done.

SS Delux · 07-29-2011, 10:06 PM

Great looking truck ! where did you get the "blank" tailgate panel ?

Johnny Merder · 08-01-2011, 11:35 AM

SS Delux the blank tailgate panel came right from GM, they dont come with the letters on them.

80StreetCoupe what do you mean by 79/80 loaded up silverado's? I hope you done mean square headlights....

babyJay · 08-01-2011, 01:42 PM

Hey welcome to the best boards around from MT. Glad you like it here and are getting some good info. Awesome looking truck have fun with the project

Big10x3 · 08-01-2011, 04:19 PM

was this the factory color combo?? and did it have the oyster white int? combo??? ;-)

Johnny Merder · 08-01-2011, 04:27 PM

It was painted gray from new, it did have that oyster white interior though. This isn't a foactory color combo, I wanted things like they would have if been if I ordered this truck new. It's a little of a wierd deal; silverado with 400 and TH350 2:76 posi factory tach, A/C cruse delay wipers but no power window or locks.

Johnny Merder · 08-01-2011, 04:28 PM

Sorry I can't spell factory today.

Big10x3 · 08-01-2011, 04:37 PM

I had one somewhat like this it was a 77 swb 4x4 silver and white two tone.. it had a weird blue int combo with the lowback buckets seats factory tach, windows locks delays with tilt and cruise.. duel tanks ect.. it was a 400 small blk, rare truck.. I have seen black and silver combo, on the 79-80 with the white int. combo good choice of colors and powertrain combo.. good luck!!!

Johnny Merder · 08-01-2011, 04:40 PM

Thanks

motornut · 08-01-2011, 04:51 PM

Hello
looks like a nice clean truck

80streetcoupe · 08-01-2011, 05:06 PM

Johnny, All I meant was that I prefer the 1979, 1980 Chevy Silverados, GMC Sierra Grande/Sierra Classic, fully loaded two-toned paint, stock looking vintage square bodied trucks. That was just my opinion though. I love the look of your truck with fresh paint on it. Just like new!! Is your 4x4 a 1979 or 1980?

Johnny Merder · 08-02-2011, 07:04 AM

It is a 1979, no big deal I thought was missing something.
