My brother bought that nice 1968 CST - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**bonehead** · 11-01-2014, 06:32 PM

My brother just bought that really nice 1968 CST that was on craigslist and was discussed on the board. I could not find the thread though, could any help me find it. He loves the truck, and will baby it, and drive it.

I'll have to get him to join the forum.

**71swb4x4** · 11-01-2014, 06:35 PM

That's a sweet looking truck! Is your brother on the board?

Kennuck · 11-01-2014, 06:36 PM

Nice Truck

**bonehead** · 11-01-2014, 06:48 PM

he is not on the board yet.

The truck is loaded, and spotless.

**basketcase** · 11-01-2014, 07:00 PM

Very nice. That's a keeper.

Very nice pickup. Funny in the description is says "never restored, has had one repaint 20 years ago"

sboris · 11-01-2014, 09:17 PM

^^^ Probably just being up front the truck was just painted, but nothing else messed with. Seen too many that "claim" it's restored, and actually it's just been sprayed lol. Tell your brother congrats!! That's a beautiful truck. Not big on white walls, but this actually looks good

litew8 · 11-01-2014, 09:25 PM

I understand. Just sayin - the paint was restored.

Gotcha

. Looks like the original ad was deleted. Would love to see the rest of the pics..

C/10 King · 11-01-2014, 10:12 PM

Nothing beats a super nice 68'!!!!

Looks real nice!

**special-K** · 11-01-2014, 10:13 PM

Looks like one you touched, Rene. The truck was painted, not restored. Big difference. My '72 has been painted but never restored. If someone called a truck restored that was only painted I'd call them a liar.

litew8 · 11-01-2014, 10:16 PM

Well to be fair - the entire truck was not restored. But yes, the paint was in fact restored.

re·store
rəˈstôr/
verb
past tense: restored; past participle: restored
bring back (a previous right, practice, custom, or situation); reinstate
return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position.

What word would you rather prefer? The paint was refreshed, redone. Same thing as restored. Not a big difference, at all.
I'd almost walk up to that line and say he just misspoke. The truck was PARTIALLY restored.
Now, it's up to you to determine if there's any bondo in there or other surprises. Or not.

**special-K** · 11-01-2014, 10:33 PM

Repaint. To restore paint would be to make old paint look new, or "bring back". I've seen people paint something and call it restored, which is far from the truth.

I'm jealous. This white truck looks way better than mine

**GAc10boy** · 11-01-2014, 10:38 PM

Wow! Beautiful truck.

litew8 · 11-01-2014, 10:39 PM

It's the English language. Not my opinion.

Sicklajoie · 11-01-2014, 10:47 PM

Sweet truck!
And while I'm here I'll chime in and add me to the list that repaint and restore ain't the same thing.
Nobody says "I restored my paint", they say "I repainted my truck"

litew8 · 11-01-2014, 11:01 PM

We're all right. The quality paint was restored to how it was new. potayto, potahto Partially restored. "I partially restored the truck by repainting it."

magwakeenercew2jh · 11-01-2014, 11:18 PM

The only thing that really matters is that the dude got himself a nice new truck....

litew8 · 11-02-2014, 02:10 AM

You're right, that's all that matters.

67swb72klb · 11-02-2014, 08:55 AM

that looked and sounded like a very nice truck from what I saw on the c/l add
congrats!!

67-4x4 · 11-02-2014, 09:11 AM

Let it go the guy got a sweet truck congrats

cooltx · 11-02-2014, 09:15 AM

Good grief... Nice truck!

Stranny64 · 11-02-2014, 09:24 AM

Beautiful truck! Nice find. Better hang onto this one. Get your brother logged into the best forum on the web!!!
