well, the pic hide the dent well. i see the chipping chrome. I had a '76 the same color. I painted it lime green. it was my first attempt at bodywork, so my dad recommended a very light color to hide the blemishes. I wish I had a digital camera back then, or I'd post pics

Haha yeah, same story here. this is my first attempt at body work too. and you will get to see how "WONDERFUL" it turns out xD
Any tips for body work? even though my father is very skilled at it, he is busy with other things

Ah, I see you've been hit by the green goblin as well.. My truck has EVERYTHING green, from the outside, to the seat, door panels, carpet, plastics, seat belts.. UGH..

Truck is a great start, subscribing...

Haha I know right...insane how green this truck is!
Well that will all change. plan on having custom paint job done by a friend *Yay* and gray interior. xD

And thank you! it would be done a lot faster if it wasn't raining and the 57 didn't take up the garaged....
Also I need a daily drive besides relying on this.

Haha yeah I feel your green pain. Any ideas for the custom paint yet?

Yet again I feel your pain, it's been raining here a LOT, and the caddy is in the garage. My poor truck is in the driveway with a goofy camper shell on it and a tarp hahaha. I do have 3 daily drivers tho.. so at least I don't have to worry about that part of it.

Well I know I want like a pearl white with another color, two tone style, but I am still looking through colors.

Ahh lol well the camper protects your chassis right?
Ah well I really wanted to get a 90's burb 4x4 and lift it for my daily driver. xD

Good luck.. It's a long annoying process. I STILL haven't found my exact pink I want.. It's either too purple, or not HOT pink enough. UGH. I just don't want something Kandy.. cause they fade in the sun, and my truck is gonna be seeing a lot of pavement and sun..

Haha.. actually it does.. but there is already a TON of surface rust on my backhalf.. FML.. oh well.. it'll come off easy..
Burb's are sweet.. I needed something lifted so I finally bought a lifted truck.. I'm likin it so far.

Hey I have a question, for those of you who wanna pitch in their thoughts about this, Do you think a patina paint job style would look neat on this square body truck?

It all depends on what you're doing to it. Personally patina paint job's aren't my thing, although when done right can look badass on the right ride. I prefer them on a little older car/truck than a 76. I'd like to see it painted but that's just my opinion, do what makes you happy.

My 2 cents..

I was thinking on those lines too. I mean you really don't see pantina on square bodys. so it would be different. but still. lol'

Thanks WillieloRidez and Jhogan830 =)

Yeah I think so too, oh that will look good on your model too, I have seen some pretty sweet blazers at the drags. I just need a good steady job to be able to afford major work to my truck, but this economy has kept me from doing that.

blwnk5 · 03-16-2010, 02:03 AM

Teal green would look good also

SevenSeries · 03-26-2010, 02:29 PM

Ok so I know my truck has nothing new done to it lately, but I ran into an old friend who has this neighbor that rolled a 2003 2500 HD Chevy and is parting it out, well there is a 6.0 sitting in there and is selling it.
Well we talked about it for a few hours and he would let the engine and trans both go for 900$. Only thing is I don't know to much about engines, but I've noticed these engines seem to be good and popular. Oh it only has 43,xxx miles and is clean.

WillieloRidez · 03-26-2010, 02:39 PM

6.0L is the way to go. Theyre reliable make great power and you can never beat fuel injection. 900 is cheap you should get it for your swb

blwnk5 · 03-16-2010, 02:08 AM

Yea i'm pretty lucky there i work on a towboat the change is real good and i get 2weeks off every 28 days on

Teal green huh? is that what the lower part on your trucks body is?

Also a towboat huh? wow. that must be pretty sweet! I wanted to work on a crabbing boat. but its so dangerous.

I have plans on finding a job at a body shop. just making like 8.50$ an hr "Minimum wage in CA"

blwnk5 · 03-16-2010, 03:10 AM

Yea i push huge barges up and down the mississippi river not as dangerous as crabbing but if you fall in this river chances of living are slim
