I've seen an organge truck around before that looked like that. Southpa 03-27-2001, 06:33 PM Nope, 2wd, but it is a little high in the back, got overloaders installed and came with heavy duty springs all around. White top, skirts and rims. Oh yeah, driver's bedside is brown the rest of the truck is orange. I hope to get it all one colour soon, just unpredictable weather to deal with. I heard that it was whiteout conditions in Nanaimo this afternoon, can ya believe that? ------------------ Southpa 1970 GMC 1500 Custom Victoria, BC, Canada 1-PU70 03-27-2001, 07:11 PM You can go to a body supply store and they use a computer to match the paint like they would at home depot. When they did mine they took the gun out to the truck. Came out prity close. Mine was realy faded. |
