Very very cool! Nice to see everything original, glad you have that truck, I would have probably thrown away the great V6 for a 350 and ruined it! Very nice truck!

It was suppose to be a Factory match, but it ended up just a tad darker than factory.

that's a sharp color, i wanted to stay close to original, but wanted a little more pop, looked thru 100 green panels before i picked mine,

Beautiful truck & nice work on the resto - as a fellow '69 C10 swb stepside owner, I'm officially JEALOUS!!! Mine was the same color originally also, but was a 307/PG truck.

You're welcome!!! Sorry I couldn't resist, the way you worded the question...LOL
No ill will intended. I won't do it again...:)

Most places that sell paint, list the formula on the back side of the can label, for reference.

Very nice truck.

I like the color and the fact you kept it an I6. I am thinking this is the direction I will go with my next truck. Short stepside, I6. Hopefully when the time is right, I can find a '67 small window.

Love the color of the wood in the bed. What kind of wood is it and did you buy it this color?

I sanded the original wood smooth, then painted it with Dupilcolor Semi-Gloss Black and then topped that off with 3 coats of Poly. Not that "deep/wet look", but glossy,hard and the grain shows nicely. It will also be a snap to touch up, as every bit of it was done with a rattle can.

It's looks awesome. I might have to do this to my build. I love the look of the black wood.

Looks great.

Where do you guys find all these beautiful trucks? I never seem to find ones in that good of shape. And don't have the facilities or skills to put one in that good of shape.

I lucked out on finding a 58k mile original Truck. Just so happens one of my friends overheard this elderly gentleman at the local Restaurant saying "he wanted to sell his old Chevrolet Truck" that just happen to be sitting in the parking lot. My buddy asked if that was the truck or sale. The gentleman confirmed it was. My friend got his info, called me and told me about this jewel and I went an bought it that afternoon. With the help of my friend, it just fell in my lap.
