Yeah, it is real original inside. One rip on the edge of the seat. The gold rubber floor was looking old, so I installed a carpet kit.

1970 GMC Sierra Grande. Driver side front fender has been repainted, otherwise all original paint and some character adding patina growing on the pass side fender. Man, I just live and die trying to find original paint trucks.....

Re: Lets see the survivor trucks! original paint only!

I have done several over the course of the past 30 years and here's my formula. I will wetsand w/2000 grit sandpaper, buff with Wizard Mystic Cut 11048 and use NuFinish wax. You'll have to do that on the outside of your truck to get that cloudy/faded paint off. On the inside, use just the Wizards and the wax you'll be AMAZED at how good it looks. If you have paint left, that will take it back to just about brand new, blemishes, and all, inside the truck and outside. These were all painted manually by a human being and some were better painters than others, so there are imperfections and you will quickly spot them. And the Wizard will also bring the stainless steel trim around the front and back glass back to a high gloss, also.

Removing trim, door handles, badges etc makes a significant difference in the overall finished look because you just can't get close enough (or behind them) even with a hand held cloth to remove all of the dead paint. You'll have a "faded paint halo effect".

When hand buffing, use a good 100% cotton washcloth, wet it, wring it out and fold it into quarters. Keep it damp thruought the process and rinse it periodically to remove the dead paint/compound buildup.

It is a long tedious, process, but at the end of the day, your truck will look terrific. You may have $100 at most, in supply cost. Have you priced a paint job lately? Have you priced the same service at a body shop lately? I will guarantee you that there is no better paint than what was put on at the factory and you'll will never get that factory original look back, once they're repainted.

My 70 GMC, above, looked worse than yours before I started. PM me if you have any questions.

I just got a survivor (minus a few crappy spot repairs by the PO) and I have a question. When your doing the exterior are you applying much pressure with the sandpaper or just trying to scuff it up? Also, what about areas of the paint that are already thin or panel edges?

Re: Lets see the survivor trucks! original paint only!

I bought this '72 GMC K10 from the original owner last week. He was 80 years old and couldn't take the truck out on his annual hunting trip anymore.

Has crate engine with 11,000 miles, working A/C and still has the AM only stereo and dash speaker.
