They get my vote as one of the best looking trucks as well .

That's a good-lookin' truck. I kinda dig the original color, though. It seems like everything is getting painted that orange color nowadays., but that truck will look great no matter what color it gets painted. Can't wait to see the results.

I am trying to talk him out of the typical tan interior and ivory trim you might see with orange. we will see how that works out

**LEEVON** · 12-23-2011, 09:52 PM

Wow that truck really took a beating, I know those Oklahoma hail storms can be wicked. I always wondered what the inner structure of the cameo bed was and now I know after looking at the FB pics, that's not what I expected at all!

Nice work so far!

Never understood that. I'm going with charcoal grey in my orange 56 but I'm going for a more modern feel in the whole truck and new cars don't get white interiors. This truck looks really good. Can't wait to see the end result. Will it be done and maybe at the southwest nationals in april?

CAL 58 GMC · 12-24-2011, 01:14 PM

Very nice truck!
