Your medium-olive paint sure looks pretty, what did you use?
very cool.i have been hoping the nephew of the original owner,who i bought the truck from and inhertited the old homestead in Idaho,where the the truck was for 25 years,would come across some of the original paperwork for the truck from the dealership.i have the build sheet but not the protecta-plate or anything else,sure would be neat to have whatever he might come across.i talk to him from time to time and i know if they find anything,they'll send it along.i am very happy with the paint,the second paint work.the first go-round was a disaster.it's single stage PPG urethane.my painter wanted base clear and i didn't so we battled back and forth about it.just like belly buttons,everybody has one and an opinion about paint.i prefer the look of the old finish on old trucks and cars,to me base clear doesn't look right but that's just me.take care.thanks.
