Re: 68 K20 GMC/Chevy

I just went back and saw your last post. Before that, I was going to say, in reply to 1968Vette's post, paint that '68 GMC back to Light Blue and you'll really get the attention. That's one of the old '60s Steady Eddy truck colors... same as Woodland Green/505/Dark Green. I'm used to seeing base trucks in that color. Don't think I'd ever seen a Custom or Super Custom K2500 (or K/10) in that till I saw pics of this truck when it was all one color.

I am a big fan of Woodland Green. I've had a few and made it my company color when I ordered my '92 K3500. I got out of that two years ago and want to paint the '95 K2500 Suburban I replaced it with same color. It's the universal truck green. Been on trucks about as long as black paint.

Look at '67 GMC pictures to decide on that chrome. I see it as minor, though. For me with that trim the question is whether I want a smooth and round look or trimmed. You know the base GMCs had painted grilles in 67/68

I guess with a nicer factory truck, you don't see a lot of, I go with keeping it what it is to the eye, at least. But I plan to do a color change on my '72 K2500. I always stayed with original color, except some ground-ups, but never intended to leave this one white.
