I finally got her washed and waxed today - cleans up pretty good for a work truck. Also a shot of the interior that I completely redid. The console I built myself...

Nice!!!!

AceX · 05-23-2008, 11:45 AM

Looks good. What color is that? It almost looks like a butter scotch color...

Now that everyone is posting new pics of their trucks mean that I have to get off my duff and detail the truck again so I can take some new ones...

**Palf70Step** · 05-23-2008, 01:23 PM

Nice ride. What did your seats come from?

72BlckButy · 05-23-2008, 03:24 PM

No Way! Good to "see" you again! How's your burb coming?

I love the truck. I put a crate motor in it recently, and I can pretty much rip the tires off at a atop light now.

I'm still wanting to get rid of a bunch of the smog stuff on it and put in a new exhaust, but that can wait for a bit. It's great - very solid on the road.

@Palf70Step: The seats are some racing style seats I got online (Jegs? Can't remember...) and they are great. Very comfortable. Very little modifications to the seat bracket - a 3" side extension and a couple of extra holes drilled. The console I made from 3/4in ply, and has two main compartments. The lid can be used as a jump seat in a pinch.

Nice work! Getting rid of the smog stuff is relatively easy, but you live in Cali. Don't you guys HAVE to keep it on?

79gmcsierragrande · 05-24-2008, 03:14 AM

Perfect!!! That was exactly what I was looking for thank you. It’s pretty close to the shade I want too. I hope to paint mine within the next year or so but I have some house projects to finish first. What shade is that if you don’t mind me asking.

1975 is the oldest car you have to smog in CA.

hessian18 · 05-24-2008, 03:18 AM

Thats a nice truck man....

Im in the process of putting a Gen III in my 81....

Dealing with CA is pain in the a$$ but it will be worth it in the end....

Maybe someday we will have a California meet

**Edit...thats a 74 !! You lucky DOG !! LOL

CavScoutsC10 · 05-24-2008, 04:39 AM

are those door panels stock?

Kixwy2 · 05-24-2008, 09:00 AM

Thanks for the nice comments! It's turning out to be a really great truck. As far as the color, the closest I can come up with is something like Sunny Yellow, or School Bus Yellow, depending on the guide I look at.

The thing is, it changes color depending on the angle you look at it so there may be some undercoat I don't know about. (I didn't paint it.)

I think so? It's a GMC Custom and it didn't have a lot of the options, but the sticker is gone from the glove box, so it's hard to tell. Dropped90Burb had it before me, and he got it from someone else. I think it's been modified a bit.
