Yes...but I seem to only like 2 tone when it's faded and rough. Go figure.
Show off...
Just found the video. Going to watch it tonight. It would be really nice to do that and be able to keep the paint!
Yes, love that combo
Great photo and backdrop. Climbed Liberty Ridge in ‘05, I miss my days on Rainier. The truck takes the cake tho.
I feel like I’ve seen shortbed cut downs that cut both ends near the end, some that only slice the front, like 6” back from the front of the bed. Haven’t researched enough but regardless it’s major surgery and the need to vertically seam the bed panels back together.
I took the “faded” off this one with a quick polish but it qualifies as rough…. Man, old paint is soft. Entire truck buffed out in about the time it takes to do one bedside on good clear coat!
I didn't know they ran the chrome early style dog dish hubcaps through '77.
Ya I’m not certain if those are/were OE hubcaps. But I think 77 was around the time that GM changed the style to the “80s” style dog dish caps. Highly likely though as the truck was essentially original owner and never modified elsewhere thru the years.
The old style hub caps look perfect on that truck.
Thinking about what I wrote: I'm thinking that the '78 Sierra shop truck had the white version of this cap on it when we got it. We bought it in May or early June of '78, and after it was wrecked at less than a year old, it got the GM factory wagon wheels, painted Colonial Yellow like the rest of the truck. Actually I believe the customizing was a gradual process, taking about a year or so.
