Still needs work, but alot of the hard stuff is done. It was tight in his garage so this is the only pic i got. He just picked it up in MO. I will get more pics and info next time over.

Gee, I didn't know Chevy offered a crew cab in MY 1969. Sure is pretty.
Hope your friend's not into old racetrack superstions about Green being an unlucky body color. If I was driving that rig, I'd feel lucky, anyway.
More pix, please. Better yet, get him to join our Board.

That’s a dandy! Looking forward to seeing more pictures of his new purchase. I bet he’s still smiling from excitement.

Nice truck. Too bad he drinks Coors Light or else you might be tempted to go over there and help.

Why not both? Though I prefer Bud to Coors. I was a loner even back in the '70s. :lol: EVERYBODY drank Coors back then (California), except me, it would seem. Didn't keep people from poaching mine when they ran out.

It was a new ls possibly? I will have to find out more.

I will see what other kinds of beers are there also for everyone...

That deep green makes me thirsty for Heinie in the cans.
[Canned Heinekens are better. They are kept refrigerated. Whereas the bottled pallets sometimes get left out in the sun, which overcooks the hops -- making it skunky]

Is that why it tasted so bad? I used to like it every once in awhile, but a few skunky sixers put me off it. Maybe I'll try some canned Heineken next time.

I need a 12 pak of something! :tim:

Rigorous honesty dictates that I admit that I might be a drunk myself and definitely a hypocrite! :D

Louis did a sweet job on that truck. Who ever painted it did an amazing job! All the trim is air brushed on. I'm pretty sure it had a 6.0 LS if I remember correctly. I'm glad a friend of a member here bought it so we might get to see it finished.

Nice truck, love the color.

I am a Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Michelob Light man myself.

Nothing to do with overcooking the hops UV light breaks down the acids which then binds with the beers proteins causing the beer skunk . You can do the same storing near a grow light . Thats why a lot of beers are in brown bottles it doesn't happen as much with brown bottles . Heat or refrigeration has no play in it

Been brewing for 20 years and have taken a few classes

X2, clear or green gets skunky (oxidized) according to my instructor. Brown protects the product better.

That trim is painted on? Props! That guy ought to go to work for Sports Illustrated!

There is a thread on the forum of this truck's progress.

On the Step fenders there was never a GM-stamped trim panel for those curves.
Stepsides don't generally have the moulding rear of the Cab. [Stepsides are generally Standard, not DeLuxe, anyway.] So that might be the reason for painted-on trim. Impressive, if they did w/o the mouldings and just painted the whole trim on.
