The white one above is C/10 perfection. Just plain old white with everything that came on it, nothing more. These truck were done right the first time!
Ok, actually, this truck does have interior alterations. Not 100% original, but just the type of treatment I'm talking about here. The "essence" has been retained, in fact enhanced. Like what GM coulda or shoulda done. I believe the front is dropped a tad. But the interior is the big change. It is red, the tilt column is white (my truck would be red), and it has a red Comfort Grip steering wheel. This is the exact truck I set out to build in '04 on a basic '72 SWB I had. I had the 402/TH400 and it was going to be white with red interior. I was going to do the inside of the bed red also, like a '55 Cameo. I still have the 8" steelies that I had powder coated red to use PO1s with and have Diamondback make me a set of wide 70 series with 3/8" whitewalls. I was going to leave the lower trim off and have only upper trim with red accent. No woodgrain in the interior either. I was picturing the '55 Cameo and a white with red interior '62 Impala SS. I found the lowered and rebuilt rolling SWB chassis I have and decided to sell the '72 as it was and use the OEM rustfree sheet metal I had in my parts stash and do a '67 mild custom. TX Fireman came along with his white SWB with red interior (I think) and I didn't want to make something too similar. Plus, I have so many trucks in my head, but can't possibly do them all. I still really do hope I can get it together to do a gentleman's "essence of Chevy" C/10, though. Possibly a longbed. Who knows???
