dinnut · 09-18-2003, 09:32 PM

dinnut · 09-18-2003, 09:37 PM

lets nominate it for a october truck of the month!

**jerry moss** · 09-18-2003, 09:56 PM

Fred stopped by tuesday evening to show me the truck so i asked if he could send some pics--since i'm too stupid to figure out my camera. he did a nice job on his truck and it's got a ton of little modifications. i sent this thread to him so hopefully he'll respond with details, it's also going to be in a future issue of a truck magazine, the photo shoot has already been done.
i'd like to thank Luis for posting the pics for me.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-18-2003, 10:06 PM

Bad a$$ That truck is PIMP!!!!

greenhorn male · 09-19-2003, 01:35 AM

Your more than welcome Jerry.
What are the 3 chrome things in the center? Are they air vents or guages?

Jemost 72 · 09-19-2003, 02:05 AM

Just guessing, could the color be 'candy brandywine'?
I knew a guy that painted a camaro that color, it looks just like it...

**jerry moss** · 09-19-2003, 09:01 AM

guages in the middle.

i'm not sure of the color, he said it's a custom mix.

**N2TRUX** · 09-19-2003, 10:18 AM

I'm going to take a shot at the color, since no one esle knows. It looks like House of Kolor "Candy Brandywine" shot over a silver base.
Post some pics in the paint section, and see what response you get....

old school 67 · 10-17-2003, 01:19 AM

Guess all you want about the color the truck is my husband's and all I know is he went in to the guy that painted it with a picture of a vehicle that he had worked on that was in one of the hot rod magazines and asked him if he remember the car and the color he said he did and then they made the color up from there. The thing I love about this truck is that when it's sitting in the sunshine the color changes in so many different ways but the underlying color is the same.

A.P. · 10-17-2003, 09:42 AM

Were is the stero? Who cares that truck kicks azz. Good job.

**jerry moss** · 10-17-2003, 10:06 AM

the stereo is a pumped big block with headers and 3 inch duals

old school 67 · 10-18-2003, 01:19 AM

Amen to that ! With the music that is coming out these days all I would need to do is add alittle bit of bass to the sound from the engine and I could have a top 10 hit.

casey · 10-18-2003, 01:55 AM

that thing looks like a candy apple, nice unit

OldSkool71 · 10-18-2003, 02:56 AM

That is most definately OldSkool. Nicely Done!

*Randy70C-10* · 10-18-2003, 09:21 AM

old school 67- Welcome to the board, you and your husband have one killer truck! If my wifes stepside turns out half as nice as that one I'll be happy.

old school 67 · 10-18-2003, 12:48 PM

Hey Randy, Thanks for the welcome. The truck is his but the newest project vehicle a 58 Chevy station wagon is going to be mine, I'm hoping that it turns out as nice as truck if not better than it.

old school 67 · 10-18-2003, 04:14 PM

Oh, by the way I have been trying to get this truck nominated for truck of the month but I can't post the pics on that thread so I haven't been able to get it in the running.

Now that's a good name for that color: "Candy Apple Nice"

O'l Buck · 10-19-2003, 01:29 AM

That is one sweet 67!!!!!!!

old school 67 · 10-26-2003, 02:10 PM

Hey, Ol Buck,

I'm originally from Omaha,Ne but for the life of me I can't figure out where Orleans, Ne is. Where is it and how far is it from Omaha?

cojnit · 10-26-2003, 03:45 PM

So are you saying these seats are out of a '70 CST?

I love that bench and am thinking of it for my burb.

old school 67 · 10-26-2003, 05:52 PM

That's what I'm sayin' my husband was out in the garage for the longest time working out the exact shape he wanted to get the seat around the shifter. He had split seats but the didn't work for the four of us to ride in the truck, me and the two girls and him so he went for the bench seat with adaptations of his own. Almost everything about this truck has been modified in one way or another to suit the look he was going for, of course when he started this project we didn't have kids but now we do so we had to make it "family friendly"

**68 Stepside** · 10-26-2003, 06:09 PM

Jeepers...I can't believe I never replied to this thread. That is one of the sweetest trucks I have EVER seen. If mine ever looks half as good, I'll be happy! The custom work is extremely impressive, nothing gaudy, just nice, subtle touches. I'm in love!!

old school 67 · 10-26-2003, 06:43 PM

Thanks, I know he put alot of hours in on it , There were many nights I had to serve him dinner in the garage because he was right in the middle of doing something on it and didn't want to stop. You would never be able to tell that this was once an old farm truck from Nebraska. The story of how it started out is quite funny. I think that story is in the upcoming February issue if Classic Trucks but I'm not sure I know pics of the truck are though.
