Re: Husband/wife project

I can't tell you what you should like. Myself if I had a choice it would be orange/white.

Re: Husband/wife project

Looks just like my ol '71. I plan to remove the 6 banger and 3spd and chop it down to short bed. I kinda like Black but am also partial to sandstone metalic. Heres a pic

Between the short box and the C60 in the backgrounds, looks like you've got a few toys to play with, they look nice

Re: Husband/wife project

I swear I've seen that truck before.........Did you buy it off Craigslist? Looks like a great start. Good luck!

Re: Husband/wife project

Pretty Rickey, what part of Jackson are you from? My wife is from Jackson. She lives in south Jackson. She was born in Raymond though. I frequent there visiting the in-laws and stuff. With the black wheels, what two-tone colors are you leaning towards?

If you're talking about the bed I'm in search for another one, someone stole the one in the picture and welded it to their frame
