60-66 Before and After Thread (or Before and Now) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*lakeroadster* · 07-16-2010, 07:51 PM

I was surfing on the 67-72 forum and was lurking on the "Before and After" thread. So how about we start up one for our trucks?

My long term project..

I thought we had an earlier thread on this topic, but I must have been hallucinating because it sure isn't turning up in a search. Here are a few before and after shots of mine:

daverod · 07-16-2010, 09:15 PM

After sounds like your done with it.

sixbangr · 07-16-2010, 09:42 PM

here's a little change

markeb01 · 07-16-2010, 09:44 PM

Wow! Nice improvement. I love those double hump dashes.

**aerotruk63** · 07-16-2010, 09:50 PM

Double WoW!

62 Bowtie · 07-16-2010, 10:07 PM

Good times now my dad wants it back said he would trade his caddy

Sillyoldman · 07-16-2010, 10:22 PM

So far

**Chevy Fleetside** · 07-16-2010, 11:01 PM

it is the Fleetside truck but I used the bed from the stepside and now I am going back to a Fleetside bed.. And this was my first paint job. I color sanded my finger prints off on this one.

markeb01 · 07-16-2010, 11:28 PM

What a remarkable transformation. Curious - why are you going back to the fleetside bed, just because you like them better?

That is one part of it. I never thought the stepside bed fit right on that truck. It was just to narrow for me. I am keeping it the same color and I am also thinking about adding body trim.

Thank you! Drives me nuts when I can't find something I know is out there.

Malibob · 07-17-2010, 05:50 PM

This is a good one. I will need to see if I can find old pics.

Bennydog · 07-17-2010, 06:15 PM

I will bite on this one!

jbgroby · 07-17-2010, 06:31 PM

Since my truck is not finished with the painting yet I figured I'd jump in the puddle with these pics.

A month after Hurricane Katrina

A few months back after the the engine was broken in.
