Re: Old school 67-72 shortbeds
 

Tx,

I have a question,
You are saying that the "white" bed is the "blue" bed painted to have the patina look? How did you do that? What kind of white paint did you use? The reason I ask is because I would like to replace the fenders on my white truck and not repaint the entire truck.................Flat67

Re: Old school 67-72 shortbeds
 

I used Walmart house brand flat white spray paint.

After it dried, I used one of these...

Scrub through the white paint in areas where you'd expect the paint to be worn, ie the top of body lines and edges. After that I even scuffed it up with a piece of chain and my boot soles. It matched pretty well when finished. You just have to stop and back away every so often to check progress from a distance to make it match the rest of the truck.

Thanks Tx,
Now I'll go ahead and replace my sad fenders knowing I don't have to paint the whole truck.............Flat67

Here's my old school/beater/rat/shop truck - with and without the door logo. I just have a sweet spot for old white steelies and hub caps! The wheels are 15 X 8 on the rear and 15 X 6's on the front with 275/60R15's out back and 215/75R15's up front.

I also had to do a little a patinafication (and yes, that is a registered trademark of 67_C-30, Inc. - All Rights Reserved;)) on my truck. The door had a black spray paint on it, and matched it up pretty I think.

Re: Old school 67-72 shortbeds
 

I guess anything that doesn't have 17" wheels would be old school.

Previously ran ralleys.....and now running cragers w/2/3 drop sprgs

Re: Old school 67-72 shortbeds
 

No ,trying to keep it as original as possible

My '69 long bed. Not a short bed but everything is pretty much original. No mods or fancy aftermarket parts. So I'd say it's old school. Nice and simple. Just the way I like it.

Looks really good Red Nose! Who makes those wheels and what size are they? Is your truck dropped and how much.
