Looks like I'll be keeping her! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tdp67 · 10-13-2010, 05:01 PM

Nevert could sell for what I was looking for so I'm just going to keep her and make her my own. I'm in a little better financial situation now.

Here she is original before the PO changed her look. I'm thinking about taking her back to a semi stock aperance. At least on the outside. Original paint maybe? I'll be leaving the 350 (she was a 6 at birth).

Any suggestions?

Thanks, The paint is not as nice in person. It was not clear coated and has some blemishes. The interior I just don't like. I want to go with a black interior, nicer seats, different gauge cluster, put 67 door panels istead of the 72 painted ones. I like the Dolphin gauges but not the plastic panel. Don't want any billet job either.

I do have some mechanical changes in mind. Such as disc front brakes, move the gas tank to the rear, and of course add a/c. It's too hot here without it.

Thanks, I have to paint it anyway so I was considering a color change. I like the white but it needs to be a more profesional job. This white is Linen White from Chevy '94.

What do y'all think of the grill? Would you take it out?

I would. I love the stock look of that year.

how are the guages working out?

VA72C10 · 10-13-2010, 05:55 PM

I like the truck and your plans for it. I'd vote no insert on the grille also. That dash is worth decent money...maybe sell it complete and buy a factory style tach dash

71meangreenc10 · 10-13-2010, 06:05 PM

Grille is unique......

I say drive it and save for what you might want to do, I dont see anything wrong with it at all. However it is yours and it should reflect your taste. I have one of those 10-20ft paint jobs also, but my theory is if someone doesnt like it, then that is their issue.

scrapmetalart · 10-13-2010, 06:53 PM

lower it & new wheels & drive it as you work on it!

**72 Super** · 10-13-2010, 07:27 PM

Glad you are able to keep it and make it the way you want it. Looks like a very nice truck.

flashed · 10-13-2010, 08:30 PM

It looks great as it is but do whatever makes you happy . I like the grill as is but I also like the stock grill. Whatever you do with it if it makes you happy thats all that matters. Either way it will be a nice ride.

They work fine, it's the panel I don't care for.
