Very much appreciated my brother. Glad to be back. Just stuck in paint jail at the moment The bed goes in the booth tomorrow morning.



He's got all the hanging parts pretty much in base or first pass of clear. It's getting exciting now for sure. He said he's planning on 10 coats of clear ?? Wha?? I guess a lot of it will come back off when he color sands it.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

I may be biased, but that color looks great! In that picture, it looks a lot like the medium gold. Only it seems to "pop" a little more.(hard to describe) I can't wait to see it all together. Between the paint, and those Racelines, I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorites. Are you still planning on the dark Mahogany floor?

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

Thanks fellas --

Yes, I have the floor boards cut already but they're not stained yet. I'll be going for a darker stain color, maybe a Cherry / Mahogany mix and about 4 Gloss SPAR coats.

Anyone know of any bumpers for sale? Just good straight ones I could have re-chromed, maybe the place in Nashville (dont recall the name off the top of my head)

Posi, Bumpers / Brackets, a few more CST emblems, eyebrow trim pieces, hood letters, and interior stuff this one will be finished. I hope to be driving it in the spring but well see. ..

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

More pics .. The bed should be in color today.

2001 Corvette - Speedway white. It's not a blinding pure white, just a touch of a vanilla like color to it. Pretty sharp with the gold.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

I haven't seen the truck for a couple weeks actually. Dad has been going by the shop taking pics, it's just a few miles from his house. I cant wait to see it. Dad said the inside of the cab is sanded and ready to begin sealer / base. It's getting exciting for sure !

Hmmm, so that's not the original gold color, looks pretty close to original to me...of course, I'm not sure I've ever seen that gold color in it's original unblemished condition. So the U57 is the color code off a BMW car?
Thanks
Jeff

No, not the original gold but it is very close. The BMW Gold just had more of a 'pop' to it I thought so I went with it. The color is off a 2008 (I believe?) M6. It's a pretty rare car in itself especially in this color.

I'm a BMW nut too so it just made sense

Thanks Chad,
So I'm reading that your 68 is not an original 68 Golden. It's a cool pickup to imitate.
I'm not making much headway on mine, but small steps at least. There's a thread on the other side of this 67-72 section that ai found recently, it's already 2-3 pages back because of so much activity on this web site. Golden is in title. I hope to make some posts (and hopefully pictures) soon.
Keep On!
Jeff

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

Naa, man I wish it was a real Annie. It's a 69 cab, 68 clip. I'll have an air dash out of a 72 Cheyenne, 70-71 CST door panels, 69-70 CST bucket seats, 67-68 CST trim, 71-72 tail light and bed trim, 84 Silverado front Kmember, 69 Camaro 396, Walnut comfort grip steering wheel with tilt, lol. It's a mix of all the things I like about these trucks, most of it is not 'correct' for a 68 CST but I'm just pulling all the stuff together into one semi-custom truck. 68 Annie, saddle int. In no way representing it as an Anniversary I just love the color combination.

This is going to be a nice truck, Chad! Your description here reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song...One Piece At A Time!! LOL! Looking forward to seeing the truck in the future!
