Man cave

My son bought a new house with a garage man cave and invited my truck to spend the winter there.
I haven't posted anything in this forum for awhile so a lot of newer members probably have never seen this truck. It's over due for a little face lift. I'm thinking new rims and tires in the future, and 383 stroker are in the pipe.
I got to admit I have kinda lost interest in it. I'm hoping he will take a liking to it since it will be his when I croak anyway.

Re: Man cave

I don't know about being overdue a face lift but a 383 wouldn't hurt. You've got a nice place to work on it.

Re: Man cave

Here's a couple more pics for the newer members that haven't seen it before.

I don't post much in this forum anymore. I kinda got hooked on "General discussion"...The truck is a 79 and has a older crate 350/350th.

I added Vintage air..17 inch hopsters with toyo st tires...and a ton of other mods. it's lowered with a Belltech 4,6 flip kit, c notch.......Was truck of the month in may 2008 the only time I nominated it. This link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/album.php?albumid=89 has more about it....thanks for your interest.

Re: Man cave

All this talk about the truck...That's a hell of nice man cave you got there.


You do have a very nicely done truck as well. I don't want to short change the truck at all in my post.

All that truck needs is the altitude adjustment that you considered at one time. The wheel style is timeless, but some 20s would give it a fresh look to. Another option would be to sell it to me.....just saying...

Re: Man cave

Are any of these pictures of your truck?

I'm painting my truck soon and I wanted this same color, but even if it's not could you give me the paint code and the brand of paint you used, etc. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
I love the truck.

I'd love to know everything you can tell me about that paint job.
I PM'd you but feel free to explain it all here for everyone to see.
Thanks
